Cinnamon Bear Popcorn
3 Bags Popped Popcorn
4 Cups Mini Marshmallows
1 Bag of Cinnamon Bears (cut in pieces)
2 Sticks Butter (1 cup)
1 1/3 Cup Sugar
½ Cup Karo Syrup
1 tsp. Vanilla
3 Drops red food coloring
Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Pop the popcorn and divide it over the cookie sheets. Add about 1 1/3 cup of mini marshmallows onto each sheet. Cut up the cinnamon bears and divide them among the popcorn. In a saucepan combine butter, Karo syrup, and sugar. Heat to a boil on medium heat, stirring continuously. Turn heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Add vanilla and food coloring. Pour the HOT sugar mixture over the popcorn. Carefully stir. The heat will melt the marshmallows and make everything gooey and delicious.
So how did it taste? I'm not a huge cinnamon bear fan, but this sounds pretty good and I am a huge popcorn fan.
ReplyDeleteClumsy Coquette - we loved it! I am not a cinnamon bear junkie like my husband, but there was just something about the sweet and salty combo, along with the chewy cinnamon bears, that was AWESOME! It was a fun change from our regular butter popcorn and kettle corn!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness....I LOVE cinnamon bears, I can't wait to try this!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this looks so DELICIOUS! I love cinnamon bears... I even toured the Sweet's Candy factory, in Utah to see how they are made... I also love popcorn, this looks perfect, I really should not read about yummy food so late at night!

Oh, yum! I love cinnamon bears; I've got to try this!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to make this even cheaper and healthier, skip buying the packaged popcorn. Get some brown paper lunch bags, buy a jar of unpopped popcorn, put a 1/4 cup of the kernels in the bag, fold the top of the bag over twice, stick in the microwave for 3 minutes and then continue with this nice recipe.
ReplyDeleteI used chocolate covered cinnamon bears and it was amazing! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteTwo cubes of butter...is that 2 sticks/or 1 cup's worth?? Looks good...
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! I have learned that "cube of butter" is a Utah thing. :) It is the same as 2 sticks/1 cup. :)
