How to make gingerbread popcorn:

I used microwaveable popcorn for this recipe but you feel free to use any type you like.

To make the gingerbread sauce you will need to melt butter and sugar in a sauce pan. Just be careful not to burn the butter. I suggest using lower temperature and stirring the mixture frequently.

Once the butter is melted and sugar dissolved, add the spice mix. Stir well and let it simmer for a few more seconds before turning off the heat. The whole “cooking” will take no more than 5 minutes.

All you have to do now is pour this mixture over your popped popcorn and toss well. I use a large bowl that makes the tossing easier. Basically you want to coat most of the popcorn with the gingerbread mixture.

When you are done, you are ready to serve!

Tips when making gingerbread popcorn:

  • Serve it right away! The longer it sits the softer it gets.
  • If you don’t have brown sugar, use granulated or cane instead.
  • The gingerbread spice mix can be substituted with a blend of cinnamon and ginger (the ratio would depend on your liking).
