Cinnamon Heart Popcorn Crunch

0 · Feb 14, 2018 · 3 Comments

Our Cinnamon Heart Popcorn Crunch is a made with white chocolate and cinnamon hearts!

Through my 12 year journey of food blogging, I have learned a lot about food, about people, people and food, unusual food allergies, foods I’ve never heard about or would never cook myself, cooking techniques and tips, and that there are actually people out there that do not like chocolate. Yes it’s true, some people do not like chocolate. Hard to believe right?!

Perhaps those non chocolate lovers like white chocolate?! This treat is made with white chocolate making it more appealing to those who do not like milk or dark chocolate variations. For this treat the white chocolate gets mixed in with the popcorn and cinnamon hearts fusing everything together for the perfect crunchy Valentine’s Day treat.

Several years ago we made this Peppermint Popcorn Crunch, which continues to be a very popular recipe on the blog during the months of November and December. For this recipe we have swapped the crushed candy canes for cinnamon hearts. I like to keep the cinnamon hearts whole as they are small enough and it gives you a good chew.

This treat is perfect for taking to school for classroom treats. Making for your sweetheart and hiding in his lunch. You can break it up and put it into cute heart bags you can find at the Dollar Store. Here’s how you make this nut free and tasty Valentine’s Day snack.

Cinnamon Heart Popcorn Crunch
Author: Wanda Baker
Recipe type: snacks
 
Ingredients
  • 12 cups popped popcorn
  • 1½ cups white chocolate (wafers, chips or chunks)
  • ½ cup cinnamon hearts
Instructions
  1. If using white chocolate chunks, chop up into smaller 1 inch pieces. Add chocolate to a small glass bowl and place over top a simmering pot (or use double boiler). As the chocolate starts to melt stir constantly until smooth.
  2. Pop your popcorn and place in a large bowl. Pour melted chocolate over popcorn, stirring until evenly coated. Sprinkle with crushed candy and toss gently until combined.
  3. Spread mixture on a parchment or wax paper lined baking sheet and refrigerate until coating hardens. As it was -12C outside when I made this treat I was able to set it outside for 10 minutes and it set up nicely.
  4. Break popcorn up into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

    I don’t think I’ve ever come across anyone who doesn’t like chocolate! Unfortunately, I’ve recently been told that I shouldn’t eat much of it because of a sensitivity to caffeine. 🙁 This looks like a great Valentine’s Day treat!

  • Sometimes easier said than done. Especially when the hits just keep on coming. Hurting now. Trying to break the cycle.

  • Surprise surprise we fondued again this weekend. This time a marinated sesame chicken in broth + a cheese fondue made with a porter (beer). Lots of great flavour happening and too much chicken!
.
We finished with a small bowl of chicken soup using the leftover broth with some vermicelli noodles and sliced green scallions I had on stand by. Another amazing fondue is in the books!
.
Leftover uncooked chicken went into our chicken chow mein 😍😉

  • This Cherry Kiss Hot Chocolate is from @eatdrinkblock and available for #YYCHotChocolateFest!
.
In the first photo the incredibly tasty booze soaked cherries fell in to the hot tub aka hot chocolate. The second photo shows the cherries pre-hot tub.
.
The hot chocolate is missing the marshmallow as they apparently ran out of marshmallows. Hopefully this means they are selling lots of hot cocoa for @yychotchocolatefest!
.
Try this beverage with or without alcohol and partial proceeds go to Calgary Meals on Wheels.

  • Cooking from @donna.hay's #moderncooking #cookbook this month.
.
Made these Burnt Butter and Salted Maple Sticky Buns for the #rainydaybitescookbookclub challenge. Admittedly I took the photo before adding the salt (whoops)! The dough is easy to work with and I let both rises go longer than advised.
.
The glaze for these buns goes both on the bottom and again poured over the buns when they come out of the oven hot. My family loved them and ate most of them as they were a little on the sweet side for me.
.
Lots joining in on this challenge today. Follow the hashtag, #rainydaybitescookbookclub to see everyone's photos for todays challenge!

  • -28 with the wind chill is no deterrent when it comes to trying hot chocolate during @yychotchocolatefest. This is the Frozen Hot Chocolate Gelato from @fiascogelato and it is so delicious that you completely forget its ahem frozen and -28 out side.
.
It's available until February 28th but do check their opening hours before you go as they are closed Sundays.
