This Snickerdoodle Popcorn with White Chocolate Drizzle is the perfect sweet and salty treat to enjoy with your favorite movie! It’s super easy to make and full of snickerdoodle flavor.
Snickerdoodle Popcorn with White Chocolate Drizzle
How naughty is this popcorn!? I’ve had this idea brewing for a while and finally decided to make it, yikes it’s dangerous! I love the cinnamon sugar topping on Snickerdoodle Cookies, so I decided to call this popcorn…Snickerdoodle Popcorn. There are no cookies hiding in here, lol!
You’ll get bites of buttery cinnamon and sugar with creamy white chocolate pieces. Yum is all I have to say about that. Do yourself a favor and go pop some of this crazy delish popcorn 🙂 Enjoy!
Pretty simple line-up here. Add 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream here 🙂 Left it out of the photo.
How to Make This Sweet and Salty Popcorn
Heat your oil into a large pot then once hot, add one little kernel to test out the heat. Once it pops, you are ready to add the rest of your kernels 🙂
Once you’ve added your kernels, hurry and put on the lid!
Like so. Do you guys own Le Creuset Dutch ovens? I could not live without my collection. Love the heavy things! You could certainly use a large pot of your choice as a substitution.
Once you hear the popping slow down, your popcorn is ready! Transfer to a large bowl.
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter….
I have loved working with McCormick Gourmet (See my disclosure at bottom of post) the past few months, their spices have been such a pleasure to create recipes with. Their Roasted Saigon Cinnamon has such intense flavor. Check it out, you’ll love it!
…and combine your sugar and cinnamon.
Drizzle the butter baby!
Sprinkle in your cinnamon and sugar.
Like so….mmmm!
Pour onto a baking sheet.
Melt those white chips with a little heavy cream until melted and smooth.
Time to drizzle!
Yes, pick out a few and munch while the chocolate is still fabulously melty.
Transfer to some cute little popcorn boxes like mine that I found at Michaels or I have also seen them at Cost Plus World Market. Little celophane bags work great too.
Mmmm, enjoy!

Have a great rest of your week and weekend, come back soon!
Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
This recipe is not naughty.
Food has no morality, it is neither good nor bad.
It’s food. You eat it.
This sounds so good, the perfect sweet but salty!
Oh my, this sounds delicious.
Love it. Never thought of popcorn as dessert! 🙂 I posted easy Pink Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Buttercream today. Yumm. But this popcorn…seems like such a nice light dessert! Have to remember that! 🙂 Thanks 🙂
I love popcorn. Love, love, love it… But. Only when it’s something amazingly sweet and salty and unique like this! I can’t wait for the hubster to get home from his training deployment so I can whip this up for us! Thank you for a seriously irresistible recipe!
My husband just died and went to heaven with this recipe.
Jenny, your blog updates look fabulous as does this decadent popcorn. Would love to munch this & watch a movie tonight! xo
I’m so excited to find your awesome blog! Ive been invaded by a bunch of picky eaters from Mars! I can’t wait to try out some of your recipes.
Thanks!
Oh my gosh. I had no idea you could pop popcorn in a dutch oven!! We’re definitely going to try this… and probably do the snickerdoodle part too 🙂
This recipe may have just topped the oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies. Okay, I’m talking crazy now, but it’s definitely delicious!!
I love everything about this recipe, especially the fact it’s made in my dutch oven. I love my Le Creuset too. It’s such a fun, lovely yellow. 🙂
This looks amazing, I can’t wait to try it! What size is your Le Creuset and are you happy with it? I added one to my wedding registry but I’m questioning the right size to pick. Can’t wait to read through the rest of your blog, this is my first time here and I can already tell I’ll be a regular.
OK…popcorn and white chocolate! Awesome!
That is some seriously naughty popcorn! I wouldn’t want it any other way though 🙂
I love anything popcorn but especially popcorn with chocolate. This would be a big hit in my house.
I feel like I leave the same comment whenever I leave one…”YUM!” Everything you post is so yummy looking. Btw, I posted a “healthy” samoa immitation I found today. Not anywhere as good as the samoa popcorn you made…but fun anyway.
This is dangerous! My family would go crazy for this popcorn.
I’ve got to try this–I love cinnamon sugar on anything!
Great minds think alike! I posted a similar recipe on my blog a few weeks back. Only, I made mine a spicy version with cayenne pepper for a grown-up kick! Love the salty sweet combo! 🙂
looks so awsome i love popcorn and cookies
Oh my gosh, you’re killing me over here! Love this sweet/salty version of popcorn!!
Best idea ever?? I get pretty bored with popcorn unless there’s something exciting about it! And this totally qualifies! In fact, it’s a perfectly awesome idea. I LOVE snickerdoodles, after all 🙂 Now I just need a Le Creuset as pretty as yours!
I love popcorn so much and now I need to make this.
I’m not a big fan of popcorn, but these do look great. I’m sure the cinnamon-sugar-butter mix with drizzled white chocolate would go wonderfully on cakes or maybe even on bread. Could be an interesting topping on a loaf, or just as cinnamon-sugar sprinkled toast. However that might just be something I’d like.
What a great snack!
All I can say is YUMMY!
It’s pretty much official. This is now the only possible way to eat popcorn in my book!
I’ve heard of cinnamon and sugar popcorn, but not with a white chocolate drizzle! You have successfully made me want popcorn for breakfast.
Popcorn? As dessert?
Sigh…okay…you talked me into it.
And by talked me into it, I mean that I will be making it immediately and then consuming the entire batch without sharing.
This looks great, I’m a huge fan of sweet and savory.
Jenny, you really need to change your site name to Yummy-Palate, because everything you make, makes me go YUMMY! This recipe needs to be tried on my cheat day, as I am a professed popcorn-aholic, but have been good lately. May need to be a little bad for this one though. lol Great Recipe as always.
my husband is a popcorn fiend! i can see his eyes lighting up when i make this 🙂
This looks beyond tasty. I love snickerdoodles and I love white chocolate. Hurray!
Every night, not exaggerating….EVERY night I make popcorn and add: cinnamon, stevia, and choc chips! And I also add nooch (nutritional yeast) b/c it gives a salty/savory with the sweet. I am going to now add white choc like you. See how many flavors I can get going 🙂
Roasted Saigon Cinnamon = ohhhh, that sounds awesome! I love cinnamon and use tons of it!
This sounds too good to be true!
What a great idea!! I can see this being the perfect kid snack for a movie.
OMG that looks SO delicious! I will have to try that ☺
