Ingredients
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp salted butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium sized pot, combine the popcorn kernels and vegetable oil over medium-low heat. Shake the pot regularly until most of the kernels have popped. Transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Microwave the mixture for about 20 seconds, or until the butter has melted.
- Pour the brown sugar mixture over the popcorn and fold it until the popcorn is evenly coated in the brown sugar mixture.
- Microwave the white chocolate chips until they are fully melted and drizzle the chocolate over the top of the popcorn.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- You can store this popcorn in a bag on the counter for up to one week before it will start to go stale.
- You can use either light or dark brown sugar in this recipe. I have tried using both and it does not make a noticeable difference in the taste of the popcorn.If you do not have popcorn kernels, you can use microwave popcorn bags instead. You will need two bags for this recipe.
- In addition to vegetable oil, you can also use avocado oil and canola oil. You will want to stay away from low heat oils like coconut oil because it will just cause the kernels to burn before they have a chance to pop.
