My mom recently gifted us some ultra fancy flavored popcorn from Hampton Popcorn that was out of this world. It was a set with flavors like peppermint white chocolate, white and dark chocolate swirl, and a crunchy cinnamon flavor. The last one was my favorite and inspired me to try a cinnamon toast popcorn that I could make at home.

I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch in general and figured the texture would totally meld with a crispy popcorn and dense white chocolate drizzle. Flavored popcorn is usually such a breeze anyway, and adding a cereal doesn’t add any complexity at all. Except for in the texture. Complex is gooooood.

Here are a couple of other popcorns I’ve made (the cookie butter one in particular is decadent!):

• Cookie butter peanut popcorn
• Rosemary parmesan popcorn with brown butter

Oh, that white chocolate drizzle!
