Start by using an air popper or microwave popcorn popper to prepare your desired amount of popcorn. You’ll want it to be freshly popped for the best texture!

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your butter or chosen oil, then stir in the sugar and cinnamon until well combined.

Pour the melted coating over the popped popcorn, gently tossing to ensure every piece is evenly coated.

Spread the popcorn mixture onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 300°F for about 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Once baked, allow the popcorn to cool completely before serving it up or packing it as gifts.
