In a large pot, heat the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid. Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even popping. Once the popping slows down, remove from heat.
Transfer the popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl. While the popcorn is still warm, sprinkle it with a few dashes of salt, stirring gently to combine.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, feel free to add more cinnamon to taste.
Drizzle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the popcorn while tossing it gently with a spatula. Make sure all the popcorn is evenly coated with the sweet mixture.
For an extra touch of creaminess, drizzle 1 tablespoon of half & half over the popcorn, tossing again to ensure it’s well distributed.
Your Cinnamon Sugar Popcorn is ready to be served! Enjoy it warm or let it cool completely for a crunchy snack.
