Easy Snickerdoodle Popcorn

If you need a simple, quick dessert that everyone will love, this snickerdoodle popcorn is for you. It can be made in under 20 minutes with only 5 ingredients.

Ingredients

  • Popcorn-
  • Granulated sugar
  • Cinnamon
  • Salt
  • White chocolate

Steps In Making The Snickerdoodle Popcorn

  1. Pop the popcorn. Whether you are using microwave popcorn or making it at home, this step is the same.
  2. Move the popped popcorn to a large bowl and remove as many kernels as you can.
  3. Mix the cinnamon, sugar, and salt together.
  4. Melt the chocolate in the microwave.
  5. Pour the white chocolate over the popcorn and mix it well.
  6. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mix over the popcorn and mix it in.
  7. Let the popcorn set and the chocolate harden.

Notes About The Easy Snickerdoodle Popcorn

  • You can use either microwave popcorn or popcorn popped at home. If you are using microwave popcorn, just omit the salt from the recipe. The popcorn is already salty enough!
  • I like to add about 2 teaspoons of coconut oil to my white chocolate when melting. This is optional, but I love how creamy it makes it.
  • This popcorn is best stored at room temp. However, if your house is pretty warm in the summer, store it in the fridge. Otherwise, you will have a gooey mess!

History Of The Snickerdoodle

The snickerdoodle cookie came from Dutch and German immigrants to the United States. It gained its popularity in 1891 when a recipe for it was published in a New York newspaper.

How To Pop Popcorn In A Pan

Start with a large pan. The popcorn will pop to about 6 times its normal size so keep that in mind when you are putting it into the pan.

Then, add your oil to the pan and allow it to heat. I use about 2 tablespoons of oil per ¾ of a cup of popcorn.

Throw a couple of kernels into the hot oil. When these kernels pop, the oil is hot enough. Add in the rest of the popcorn and cover with a lid quickly. It will pop within just a few minutes.

When the popping slows, the popcorn is done. Take it off the heat and also remove the popcorn from the pan.

The residual heat in the pan will continue to cook and burn the popcorn if you don't take them out quickly. It is also important to take the lid off quickly as that captures a lot of moisture.

That's it! It's a little bit more time-consuming than microwave popcorn but very easy to make.

FAQ For Popping Popcorn At Home

How hard is it to pop popcorn in a pan?

It's not hard at all! With a few simple tips and tricks, you can be doing it in no time.

What size of the pan should I use?

It is relative to the number of popcorn kernels that you are using. If I use ¾ of a cup of popcorn I like to use a pan that is 2-3 gallons in size.

What type of oil should I use when making the popcorn?

Use a kind of oil that won't burn when it is exposed to high heat. I love to use avocado oil, canola oil, or coconut oil. They all work really well.

What kind of popcorn kernels should I use?

Orville Redenbacher makes a really good popcorn kernel that we have used for a long time. There are also other heritage varieties that you can find online that are very good to use as well. Red Jewel is one of my favorites.
