Clumsy 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!
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.
Oh my goodness….I LOVE cinnamon bears, I can’t wait to try this!!
Oh 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!
If 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.
I used chocolate covered cinnamon bears and it was amazing! Thanks for the recipe!
Two cubes of butter…is that 2 sticks/or 1 cup’s worth?? Looks good…
I made some blue yesterday for the Olympics!
I am so sorry! I have learned that “cube of butter” is a Utah thing. 🙂 It is the same as 2 sticks/1 cup. 🙂
Do you happen to have a caramel recipe that is dairy free? Caramel popcorn?
I buy Dots and just mix with salted popcorn delish
