Cinnamon Bun Popcorn Recipe

This easy Cinnamon Bun Popcorn recipe is a chewy/crisp popcorn covered in a rich, buttery, cinnamon sugar glaze. Always a hit at dessert or snack time!

Once a week we try to have a family night. We have something easy for dinner, make popcorn, and watch movies.My kids like to have a bag of cheddar cheese popcorn, and  I make one of several different kinds of special, dessert popcorns.

This Cinnamon Bun Popcorn is the one that my kids ask for the most often. It’s a cross between a crispy, candy popcorn and a softer, chewier caramel corn.

The coating is rich, buttery, cinnamon sugar glaze that I think is much easier to make than the glazes that require a candy thermometer.

If  you give this Cinnamon Bun Popcorn a try, it may just become one of your favorites, too!  And if you’re looking for other easy popcorn recipes, check out more below!
