A friend recently told me that she makes this Churro Popcorn every year at Christmas as a neighbor gift! I had completely forgotten about it! I made it years ago for Cinco De Mayo. It’s one of those ancient recipes lost in the blog archives. I found it, it didn’t even have pictures, ha! So I had to make it, because I do remember it being so good, and had to get some new pictures up! Guys, it’s so so good! So it deserves a place right at the top here!
It’s 100% sweet, 100% indulgent and not healthy in the slightest. But sometimes you indulge a little. Enjoy it. And have a green smoothie in the morning 😉 It’s all about balance friends. I hope you enjoy the treats you love most this holiday season, without the guilt. I think this might be one of them!
You can use air popped popcorn, or pop it in the whirly pop — that’s what we have and I always use! After that, it’s just a matter of melting some butta, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt together. Pour it over the popcorn and let it bake for 30 minutes and voila! So good. Your house will smell so good too!
Churro Popcorn

Looks so good. I’m a sucker for popcorn. Mexican food is so flippin’ good.
such a great and easy way to jazz up your popcorn!
I’m at work drooling, I can hardly wait to go home and try this recipe.
I loved the Magnum Bar ad on your blog. I discovered these in England. It has probably been a good thing that they haven’t been available in the US. They are pretty much amazing.
This is an awesome recipe! I absolutely love anything that tastes of cinnamon and sugar!

YES PLEASE!!!! Churros are my fav
!
Dear Kristi,
I am just wondering why the need to put the churro popcorns in the oven at the end. Can you share with me the technical reasons?
Best regards, Ricardo
It makes it a little crunchy! Almost like a kettle corn!
