Cinnamon Candy Popcorn Recipe
Our family has been hooked on cinnamon popcorn for years! My love for it began when my Dad would bring home those delightful tins of Topsy’s popcorn every Christmas. It’s incredibly tasty but can get pricey when catering to a family of six.
This cinnamon candy popcorn recipe is a budget-friendly way to satisfy your cravings—and it’s perfect for using those cute heart-shaped red hots for Valentine’s Day!
Ingredients
- 6 cups plain popped popcorn
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup red hot candies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, combine water and red hots. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently until the candy is melted.
- Place the popcorn in a large, clean paper bag. Pour half of the melted candy mix over the popcorn and shake, then add the remaining liquid and shake vigorously.
- Transfer the popcorn onto the parchment paper (discard any stuck to the bag). Be cautious as the sticky mixture will be very hot!
- Bake for 10 minutes, stir, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until it’s nearly dry. Pack the popcorn into festive bags.
