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 HAD to make my own! A cinnamon crunchy shell and sprinkled with a cinnamon sugar mixture. It tastes AMAZING and the kiddo’s LOVED it. 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
- 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 270 F.

- On Medium/High bring the to a boil and keep boiling until the temperature reaches 270
- Remove from heat and carefully stir in cinnamon flavoring, then baking soda.

What exactly is a batch of popcorn?
Ashlee Marie
A traditional air popper use 1/2 C of kernels which ends up being about 13 C popped popcorn
