Cinnamon-Sugar Popcorn

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. In a large pot, heat the popcorn kernels over medium-high heat until they start to pop. Once they start to pop, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Shake the pot occasionally to make sure the kernels don’t burn.
2. Once the popping stops, remove the pot from the heat and pour the popcorn into a large bowl. Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn and toss to coat.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the popcorn and toss to coat. Serve warm and enjoy!
