Ingredients
- 1 cup unpopped popcorn
- 1/3 cup butter
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 250 degrees. Pop the popcorn using an air popper according to manufactuer's directions. Place into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, salt and vanilla, and cook until thick and bubbly. Pour over the popcorn and stir until the popcorn is evenly coated. Spread the popcorn into a large roasting pan.
Bake in the preheated oven 10 minutes, then turn the heat off and allow the popcorn to stay in the oven 20 minutes longer. Remove from oven and cool completely before serving.
**** De-licious!!! If any of you are familiar with the famous and really expensive "Dale & Thomas" popcorn, this stuff comes really close to their cinnamon drizzle flavor but at a fraction of the cost! I followed the recipe exactly and got great results. I basically used 3 bags of microwave popcorn and doubled the sauce. I mixed it all in a really large foil roasting pan that I lined with Reynold's non-stick foil. This was so easy and the results are fabulous! All I needed to do to take it over the top was to drizzle it with melted white chocolate. It was the perfect sweet treat!
Another user: I popped a bag of popcorn in the microwave, used 6 t. of butter, omitted salt and the vanilla . . . I think there was plenty of "sauce" for the 1 bag of popcorn. Delicious!
