Brown Butter Cinnamon-Sugar Popcorn

remember the time i made brown butter & crispy sage popcorn?  how great was that day. 

my affection for brown butter has yet to escape me, and really why should it?

my affection for things that taste like cinnamon toast has also yet to escape me?

so when the kids requested a big bowl of popcorn to accompany their 'cloudy with a chance of meatballs'  movie date, i decided to give in to my own selfish desires and blend the two, to create a highly addictive bowl everything i love in life.
