This Cinnamon White Chocolate Kettle Corn is an easy to make, sweet treat that can be ready in under 15 minutes. Perfect for a snack or for gifting.
Every year I make this for clients, I called it Reindeer Crunch. I take this to my favorite people in the world, which includes teachers and of course, the baristas at Starbucks. I actually was emailed yesterday from an old Starbucks friend, Nora, asking for this recipe. She is going to a party this weekend and wants to bring it! She said she remembers it being addicting…it is! So bring some holiday cheer with this amazing kettle corn!
Enjoy! XOXO San

STIR CRAZY: Trust me, the $30 investment for this is well worth it! It’s so much easier than the stovetop, and won’t burn! We use ours almost daily.
MIXING BOWLS: I love having a variety of sizes of mixing bowls. From small to large, I find that having at least 3 bowls of different sizes have been essential in my kitchen. I prefer Pyrex because of its durability.
