Ingredients

• 10 cups popped popcorn
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 0.25 cup light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.75 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Place the popped popcorn in a large heatproof bowl, ensuring you remove any unpopped kernels.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the light brown sugar and corn syrup until smooth and bubbly.

Step 4

Once the mixture starts to boil, let it cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and quickly whisk in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly—this is normal.

Step 5

Immediately pour the hot cinnamon caramel mixture over the popcorn. Gently stir with a spatula to coat the popcorn evenly.

Step 6

Spread the coated popcorn evenly onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring there are no large clumps.

Step 7

Bake the popcorn for 40-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure it bakes evenly and remains crisp.

Step 8

While the popcorn is still warm from the oven, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and pourable.

Step 9

Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the popcorn using a spoon or a piping bag.

Step 10

Let the popcorn cool completely on the baking sheets until the white chocolate hardens. Break apart any clumps and serve or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
