Why can't I use buttered popcorn?

While you might be able to use buttered popcorn in a pinch, it may not hold the cinnamon coating as well. Butter also affects the flavor. Plain popcorn is really a better choice as the foundation for this delicious candy coating.

Variations, Notes, and Substitutions:

  • You can change up the colors of the candy melts and even combine some for more variations.
  • You can add pink or red sprinkles to the mix.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
