I was trying to think of a fun and festive type snack to feed to the kids this last weekend while we were celebrating our Christmas together.
I have been thinking for some time to get creative with popcorn. I am a little boring when it comes to popcorn. I like mine plain with a little bit of salt and NO butter. I want to actually taste the popcorn.
Anyways so I was figuring out how to spruce it up and this came along. We were eating it faster than I could make it. What I would do next time is go more heavy handed on the drizzling of these delicious flavors. You can definitely skip the wait time and just dig in!
