Recipe notes:
Popcorn: I prefer to make my popcorn on the stovetop. See this guide for more details: Easy Homemade Popcorn. You an also use bagged / microwave popcorn if preferred. Check the packaging to see how many cups of popcorn are in a bag.
Make popcorn using preferred method and place popped kernels in a large bowl.
8 cups popped popcorn kernels
Melt butter and drizzle half over popcorn. Stir/toss kernels and drizzle with remaining butter.
2 tablespoons or ⅛th cup butter
Spread buttered popcorn on a large, parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Measure white chocolate chips and coconut oil into a small, microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in-between, until melted. *Tip: don't microwave for more than 30 seconds at a time to avoid burning chocolate.
⅓ cup white chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Stir salt and cinnamon into melted chocolate and drizzle evenly over popcorn. If desired, dust the chocolate with a bit of additional ground cinnamon powder.
⅛ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Allow chocolate to harden, this will take 15-20 minutes at room temperature. You can also place your baking sheet in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Break kernels apart and place chunks back in your popcorn bowl. Enjoy!
