I love popcorn! I often pop my own and also get boxes of it on sale, plus my mother in law sometimes brings me bags from her work. After while you get sick of the same old buttered satly popcorn! I spend an hour in the kitchen today crafting up some great popcorn recipes that are FUN and taste FANTASTIC!
The first recipe is for a BBQ Popcorn!
For the BBQ popcorn I used a mix called Knox’s Spice Company and I used their Chipotle BBQ seasoning. It includes Chipotle Pepper,Brown Sugar,Guajillo Pepper,Salt, Garlic, Mustard, Black Pepper, Basil, Smoked Paprika, Bay, Coriander, Thyme,Cumin, Cinnamon and Cayenne.I combined that seasoning with Molasses Bacon Seasoning from Grill Mates and a tiny splash of Liquid Smoke!
The season Recipe is for a Italian Popcorn!
For the Italian Popcorn I used a homemade mixture of prepper, chopped dried garlic, chopped dried onion, chopped dried tomato,chopped dried rosemary, sea salt,crushed red pepper,parsley and oregano.(I am lucky enough to get all of these individually at a great price at a local spice shop, but if you cant get it, you can use a italian spice blend. I also topped it with Parmesan cheese.
The next one is a chocolate popcorn!
This one is SO easy! I use just vanilla sugar and nesquik or another chocolate powder, I even like to mix in mini marshmallows but sadly my store was out of them today.
The last popcorn requires a stove and is really popular in my house! Its Peanut Butter Popcorn! This particular recipe uses a whole standard bag of microwavable popcorn.
Preheat the oven at 200 degrees and cook bag of popcorn.
What you need:
1/2 stick of butter
5 tablespoons of sugar
2 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter
splash of vanilla extract.
1) In a pan over medium heat add butter and sugar, let it heat up then add the peanut butter and vanilla extract, stir until it turns into a creamy mixture. Slowly and gently fold in popcorn
2) Spread popcorn out on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool and enjoy!
