Hi, I'm Matthew Harker. I'm a private chef from Boston, Massachusetts, and today I'm going to show you how to make some fun flavored popcorn that your kids are going to love. It only takes a few simple ingredients. We have here one cup of unpopped popcorn kernels, three to four tablespoons of melted butter, some salt which I'll use to taste and today I'm going to do popcorn with cinnamon and sugar so it's equal parts cinnamon and sugar. You can also use powdered peanut butter or powdered caramel that you'll find at the grocery store. The first step is to take all this over to the stove and get it popping, so follow me and let's get started. Now the first step in making your fun flavored popcorn for your kids is to put the ingredients into the pan and you want to make sure the pan and the ingredients are cool that's the secret to making good popcorn on your stove top. First we're going to add the butter and then the popcorn kernels and then our cinnamon sugar flavoring. You want to toss these around before you turn the heat on, make sure everything is nice and coated. Now you'll turn your heat on medium and you want to make sure you move the pan around to keep the heat evenly distributed or else you'll get a lot of burnt kernels. In about five to eight minutes, your first popcorn kernels will pop at which point you want to put the lid on so it doesn't escape and you keep moving it around over the heat to keep it evenly distributed and after three or four minutes, all your popcorn kernels should be popped. The popping sound will subside and you'll be ready to enjoy. So you can see how easy it is for you to make fun popcorn with your kids at home and this being cinnamon sugar can be a nice sweet snack or even a healthy dessert.
