Boy, do I have a great recipe for you today!
Several years ago my friend Katherine
(We’re talking about Katherine passer-on-er of the Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken recipe)
brought this yummy Cinnamon Bear Popcorn to my house.
It is good.
Really good.
If you like gooey sweet,
cinnamon spiked treats you are going
to
call
this popcorn…..
The Bomb Dot Com.
And I’m not even whistlin’ Dixie.
Cinnamon Bear Popcorn
Time: 30 minutes
Yield: about 15 servings
Recipe from Katherine Rose
24 C popped popcorn (1 C unpopped)
1 16 oz bag cinnamon bears
1 C butter
1/2 C corn syrup
1 1/2 C sugar
1 t vanilla
4 C mini marshmallows
red food coloring
1. Pop up your popcorn. Sprinkle it with just a bit of salt and set it aside.
2. Snip your cinnamon bears up with a pair of kitchen scissors.
Have I mentioned before how handy scissors are in the kitchen? They make projects go so much faster. I’m not against knifes or anything. Wouldn’t want to get on the bad side of a knife at all, actually. Just saying that kitchen scissors are a great way to speed up the cutting process. They too, are The Bomb Dot Com.
Amen.
3. In a medium sized sauce pan combine the butter, corn syrup and sugar. Heat it over medium to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Remove it from the heat and add your vanilla, marshmallows and red food coloring.
5. Isn’t that a fun pretty color! You could of course add more food coloring for a darker pink. Mix it all around to get everything melted in and combined.
5. Stir in the bears.
6. Add the mixture to your popped popcorn. Stir it all around until well combined.
Makes a pretty little gift!

I love the idea of cinnamon candies with popcorn! We didn't have cinnamon bears here so we tried it with hot tamales. It was great and everyone loved it! Thank you!
Thanks for this awesome recipe. My dad loves cinnamon Bears and popcorn so this was the perfect treat for him. Thanks for posting such good recipes! I have loved them all!
This looks amazing! I would love it if you could place your recipe at the end of your instructions in a printable format! Thanks!!
Colleen,
If you look under the title of the recipe, just before the ingredient list you'll notice the words “PRINT RECIPE”. This will take you to an all white page, with only the written recipe that you can print.
Thanks,

I just had to write and let you know that I made this the other day to put in a care package for my husband who works 8 hours away in another state. It was DELISH! And easy to make! My only struggle was stirring it, but I think I moved too slowly after I poured it over the popcorn. I LOVE chocolate covered cinnamon bears, so I drizzled some melted milk chocolate over half the recipe as well. WOW!! It was wonderful with the chocolate and without! My husband loved it too! Thank you!!
Love your blog! I want to make this with my daughter’s kindergarten class but we only have a microwave to “cook” in. Do you think it would work in a microwave?
This is my husbands favorite! Thanks for posting it to remind me of something I can make him for Valentines 🙂
