Test Kitchen Notes
We love to serve this recipe with Basil Hayden Toast ™—this tasty pairing's featured in our video series One Host, Two Ways, brought to you by our friends at Basil Hayden®.
WHO: Meagan works as a bartender in New Orleans and is a fierce defender of the Sazerac.
WHAT: A snack that's as equally suited to movie nights as it is for after-work cocktails.
HOW: Bake popcorn in a coating of butter, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and angostura bitters. Serve to serious snackers.
WHY WE LOVE IT: The addition of angostura bitters kicks the recognizably addictive combination of butter, sugar, and salt to another level—we dare you to keep you hand out of the popcorn bowl.

Ingredients
-
4 tablespoons
unsalted butter
-
1/2 cup
granulated sugar
-
2 teaspoons
salt
-
2 teaspoons
cinnamon
-
6 tablespoons
angostura bitters
-
8 cups
popped popcorn
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the butter, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and angostura bitters, whisking occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and a glaze has formed, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Put the popcorn in a large mixing bowl, pour the glaze over top, and use a rubber spatula to make sure the popcorn is evenly coated.
-
Spread the popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove the pan from the oven, and place it on a wire rack to cool. The glaze will harden as it cools. Serve warm or at room temperature.
