Recipe: CINNAMON STICK POPCORN

Sweet, crunchy and delicious!

INGREDIENTS:

·         6 tablespoons popcorn kernels

·         ¼ cup light tub margarine (I prefer the spreads with added phytosterols such as BENECOL^® Light Spread)

·         3 tablespoons SPLENDA^® Brown Sugar Blend

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 300° F. Measure out 6 tablespoons of popcorn kernels and pop in a hot air popcorn popper or a microwave safe popcorn maker. Place popped corn into a large bowl. In the meantime, place the margarine and Splenda into a glass measuring cup. Microwave for 1 minute then remove from microwave and stir until blended. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil. Pour margarine mixture over popcorn and toss to coat. Spread popcorn on baking pan and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
