Instructions
In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup butter (melted) and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until combined; set aside.
In a separate small bowl, whisk 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon half & half until smooth and pourable (drizzling consistency). If needed, whisk briskly or warm briefly to loosen; set aside.
Place 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil and 1/2 cup popcorn kernels into a large pot. Add a few dashes of salt. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid or foil.
Place the pot over medium-high heat. Hold the lid and shake the pot back and forth over the burner occasionally so kernels heat evenly. When kernels begin to pop, continue shaking the pot gently.
When popping slows to several seconds between pops (about a minute or two after it starts), remove the pot from the heat.
Immediately dump the hot popcorn onto a baking sheet or into a large bowl. Drizzle the cinnamon butter over the popcorn and stir or toss to coat evenly.
Drizzle the powdered sugar glaze over the coated popcorn and toss gently to distribute. Serve warm, or let cool on the baking sheet so the glaze can harden slightly.

Notes
It’s important to keep the pot moving the entire time its over the heat–this ensures the kernels don’t ever burn.
