Cinnamon Popcorn

I almost feel silly sharing this recipe, but I also feel it's something everyone out there needs to know, because it's dead easy, and more importantly crazy delicious. It's impressive enough to serve at a party but fast enough to make for a movie night on your couch with you dogs and tasty enough to eat every day.

I made a batch for our Christmas party over the weekend and we ended up having freezing rain the same night so everyone was late, I actually considered eating the whole bowl before anyone showed up. So take a break from everything and have some popcorn. 

1/2 cup unpopped popcorn

5 tablespoons butter

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt        

1/4 teaspoon vanilla 

preheat oven to 250 degrees F, line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

pop popcorn using preferred method and divide onto the two baking sheets, try not to get any unpopped kernels onto the trays. 

combine all remaining ingredients in a microwave safe bowl, microwave on high for thirty seconds, stir. repeat until sugar has dissolved. 

Pour sugar mixture over popcorn, tossing gently with a spatula to coat. Bake for 10-15 minutes until coating starts to bubble slightly. Allow to cool, toss into a bowl and eat, way too much.
