    What does Cinnamon Toast Crunch popcorn taste like?

    If you're a fan of Cinnamon Toast Crunch breakfast cereal, this snack has that same epic CinnaDust flavor, but in popcorn form! Delicious cinnamon and sugar, with a hint of vanilla! Add to that the crunchy, salty popcorn and the creamy white chocolate drizzle and it's the perfect snack for the entire family!

    This recipe combines the flavors of my Cinnamon Sweet and Salty Kettle Corn and my Confetti Popcorn, so if you like those recipes you'll love this!

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch Popcorn Ingredients

    You'll only need 3 (or 4) ingredients for this CinnaDust glaze popcorn recipe, and its a pantry favorite because they're all shelf stable!

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch popcorn ingredients
    • microwave popcorn - you can also use freshly-popped stovetop popcorn, or even bagged storebought popcorn for an easy midnight snack for the kids' next sleepover!
    • white candy melts - feel free to substitute white chocolate chips or almond bark. I used Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers.
    • CinnaDust powder - the key ingredient for that sweet cinnamon flavor! I grabbed a container of CinnaDust and couldn't wait to put it on everything!
    • Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal - this is optional, but you can toss in some Cinnamon Toast Crunch to make this snack even more delicious!

    Is Cinnamon Toast Crunch popcorn gluten free?

    Based on the ingredients, the packaged version of the popcorn doesn't contain gluten, but it isn't marked gluten-free on its product packaging because of the risk of cross-contamination. The same is true for this homemade version, since the CinnaDust and most white chocolate candy melts are made in non-gluten free facilities.

      I love the white chocolate in this recipe. Never would have thought to include it but it ties everything together perfectly! We served this at movie night last weekend and will be making it again.

      I was craving something sweet last night in the middle of my holiday movie binge and decided to make this popcorn. My only complaint is that it's TOO GOOD and I don't know how I'm not going to make this every night.

      I knew this snack would be a hit with my family because Cinnamon Toast Crunch was the kids' favorite cereal growing up. I made it for game night after Thanksgiving and everyone devoured it - thanks for starting a new family tradition!

      What an amazing idea! Cinnamon Toast Crunch is my all-time favorite cereal. I think I snack on it more than I eat it for breakfast though. This popcorn is going to level up my snacking game!
