Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese powder
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon dry Sriracha seasoning
- 1 cup candied nuts
- 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Put 2 or 3 popcorn kernels in the pot and cover it with a lid. Once those kernels pop, add the remaining popcorn kernels in an even layer.
Cover the pot again, shaking it occasionally to ensure even popping. Once the popping slows to a few seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat.
Transfer the popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl and drizzle with melted butter. Toss to coat evenly, then sprinkle with salt.
Divide the popcorn evenly into six smaller bowls. Each bowl will feature a different mix flavor.
For Mix 1 (Cheddar Pop): Sprinkle cheddar cheese powder over the first bowl and toss to coat.
For Mix 2 (Caramel Delight): Drizzle caramel sauce over the second bowl and mix well. Optional: Top with candied nuts for extra crunch.
For Mix 3 (S'mores): Add mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers to the third bowl. Toss gently.
For Mix 4 (Ranch Zing): Add ranch seasoning mix to the fourth bowl and toss to coat evenly.
For Mix 5 (Spicy Kick): Sprinkle dry Sriracha seasoning over the fifth bowl and toss to coat. Adjust seasoning based on desired heat level.
For Mix 6 (Funky Funfetti): Add rainbow sprinkles and a small drizzle of melted butter to the sixth bowl; toss to ensure the sprinkles stick to the popcorn.
Serve all six popcorn flavors in separate bowls or combine portions of each into one large colorful mix for your pop culture-themed party!
