Amazing!
Made this for my father who is a purest. His favorite ice cream is plain old chocolate and he eats popcorn almost nightly. Adding anything to his popcorn was a little risky. HE LOVED IT! Called me for the recipe! Big success and so easy to add this special touch!
This is hands down the best popcorn Ive ever had. I make this 2-3 times a week when I dont feel like a full dinner, and just want something light to eat before bed (yes i said, 2-3 times a week! Im addicted!!! A couple of things I want to point out.. I originally got my recipe from the show that she made it on… this recipe is NOT how she makes it. Instead of making the butter spice mixture in the microwave, throw the butter in a small saute pan over medium heat, then add the spices (and I use 1/2 tsp instead of 1 tsp for all ingredients. Heat butter and spices just until butter starts to simmer a little, stirring as it heats. This way, the spices can heat up and their flavor increases. TRUST ME, this makes a huge difference!! And, after pouring the butter mixture over popcorn, you have to mix it all together with a spoon or your hands so it’s evenly distributed. If you freshly grate your cheese over the top while the popcorn is still hot… it’ll stick ;
Love this! It’s one of my favorite go to snacks. I also enjoy eating it as a side dish when I have a smaller main course.
it is favry yummy
for my kids like it that means evey must try it and they will love it to
To get the cheese (or any other seasoning) to stick to popcorn, I used butter flavored Pam spray. Follow the cooking directions, but spray pam on the popcorn before seasoning. You can then toss the popcorn a bit, and spray and season one more time. This should help.
This was a great addition to popcorn. My bf is the popcorn eater, not me, but I ended up making a second bag for him because I loved it so much. It did get a llitle soggy at the bottom thought – an incentive to eat faster!
The spice combination is very tasty with a bit of a bite from the red pepper flakes. Our problem was getting the parmesan cheese to stick to the popcorn. Most of it ended up in the bottom of the bowl. Any suggestions?
I wanted something a little different for movie night, and this recipe was perfect! It was super easy and just the right mix of spices and flavoring. It was exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely make this again for movie night.
