Make Your Own Gourmet Popcorn

Seven Tasty Varieties

Gourmet popcorn is a real treat for anyone who loves snacking on popcorn, but store-bought gourmet popcorn can be very expensive, and certain flavors are hard to find. You don’t have to spend a small fortune to enjoy gourmet popcorn. Gourmet popcorn is very easy to make, and you can
 make your own gourmet popcorn in a variety of flavors.

The following information provides delicious combinations to make your very own gourmet popcorn, and these tasty varieties are great for family movie night or any occasion that calls for snacks. If your family loves gourmet popcorn, consider the following seven flavors. Proceed with caution though, because you’ll never want basic buttered popcorn again!

The following gourmet popcorn ingredients should be mixed with approximately four tablespoons of melted butter or margarine for every eight cups of popcorn. Use more or less butter according to your individual preferences.

Pizza Flavor

There are pizza-flavored potato chips and other pizza-flavored snacks, so why not enjoy pizza-flavored gourmet popcorn? To make this tasty flavor, combine about 1/8 teaspoon of dried basil, oregano, and parsley with approximately four tablespoons of melted butter or margarine. Toss it with about eight cups of freshly popped corn and sprinkle it with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Hot and Spicy

Hot and spicy popcorn is very tasty, and spicy microwave popcorn is available in stores, but why buy ready-made hot and spicy popcorn when you can make your own? Simply add a couple of drops of your favorite liquid hot sauce with about four tablespoons of melted butter or margarine. Make it as hot and spicy or as mild as you want by increasing or reducing the amount of hot sauce mixed with the margarine. Toss the hot and spicy butter or margarine with about eight cups of your favorite popcorn.
