9 oz package
Cinnamon Candies, such as Cinnamon Imperials or Red Hots
2 cups
Corn Syrup
(237 mL)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 250°F.
Pop popcorn according to package directions and remove all unpopped kernels. Place popped popcorn in a large roasting pan. Place pan in the oven to keep everything warm while you make the candy.
Cook candies and corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once the temperature reaches 230–235°F on a candy thermometer, allow the mixture to cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Immediately pour over the popcorn mixture. Stir well to evenly coat.
Bake mixture at 250°F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Pour warm mixture onto parchment paper and break into smaller pieces as it cools.
