Creative Popcorn Toppings

We love to eat popcorn in my house. Thanks to Publix we always have some because of the buy one get one free sales they have. I don't always like just butter popcorn, even the movie theater butter microwave kind. I usually add something to it. The only time I really want butter popcorn is at the movies because I always get extra extra butter. I don't really go to the movies often.

Here are some of my creative popcorn toppings I have discovered through the years.

Parmesan cheese popcorn

You can use either the sprinkles or the shreds. I use both. It just depends because Noah likes the sprinkle kind. The shredded kind gets a little crunchy but its so good.

Jalapeño Popcorn

This is something I learned in Texas with my cousins and her kids. We went to the movies and they put jalapeños on their popcorn. I tried it with just the juice because I wasn't in to Jalapeños. Now I love them so I just throw them on top too.

Homemade Garlic Popcorn

I totally love garlic popcorn but I can't eat it very often because my stomach hurts after, but it's definitely worth it.

Popcorn and icing

This is something I used to do with my Grandma Rose. She had heart problems and was on a special diet and so she had an air popper. The popcorn was pretty bland so I would dip it in chocolate icing. It was surprisingly good.

Chili powder on popcorn is not good. I really like chili powder but never on popcorn.

How do you like to eat popcorn?

  1. I typically just eat it out of the bag. I will have to try the jalepeno version.

  3. I'll have to try some of these. I eat air popped (watching calories), but just put salt on it. Boring, I know. :)

  25. I like plain, old, boring popcorn. Okay, if I'm in a feisty mood, butter and salt. Yeah, I'm old and dull.

  37. I actually like chili powder on popcorn, it makes it taste so different!

    ReplyDelete
  38. We like using taco seasoning.

    ReplyDelete
  39. those are crazy ideas! Love it. never would have thought of the jalapenos or the frosting. We sometimes do homemade Kettle corn with sugar and butter.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I like it on the savory side so I'm good with cheeses and spicy things. If you talk kettle or caramel, I'm out!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Omg. These sound amazing! I love chili powder on my popcorn. Or taco seasoning. Either is yummy.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Those are definitely good ideas. We usually just put kernels into a paper sack, spray in a little PAM, shake in a little salt and put it in the microwave to pop. Definitely not as interesting as yours!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I bet the parmesan cheese one is lovely, what a great idea!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love spicy things but have never topped my popcorn with jalapenos - definitely on my list of things to try!

  45. I would have loved pairing it with icing when I was a kid.
