Happy National Popcorn day! We LOVE popcorn at our house, because of our weekly family movie nights we enjoy popcorn all the time and we love trying new flavors.  When I was in California at Universal Studios I tried out a popcorn store and they had one they called “churro popcorn”.  It was AMAZING!
SO I just HADÂ to make my own! A cinnamon crunchy shell and sprinkled with a cinnamon sugar mixture. Â It tastes AMAZING and the kiddo’s LOVED it. Â It’s delicious with JUST the candy coating, but sprinkling the cinnamon and sugar makes it more churro like.
Churro Popcorn Recipe
Ingredients
- 9 C batch homemade popped popcorn
- 1/4 C butter
- 1/4 C packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 C light corn syrup

Ashlee Marie
