Winter has arrived. I’m watching the snow fall out my window. It’s a beautiful afternoon. This time of year, I love to watch holiday movies or curl up with a good book. This would be a perfect afternoon or evening for some homemade gourmet popcorn. I thought I share a few of my favorite popcorn toppings for you to enjoy too. Pop a bag of unsalted and unbuttered microwave popcorn. Use one of the following toppings:
Cinnamon Toast Topping
Cinnamon Toast Topping
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg
Melt 3 – 4 tablespoons of butter. Mix with the Cinnamon Toast Topping. Melt 3 -4 tablespoons of butter and drizzle over popcorn. Sprinkle the Cinnamon Toast Topping over the popcorn.
Spicy Italian Topping
- 1/3 grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt
Place popcorn in a bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over popcorn. Mix with Spicy Italian mixture.
Cookies & Cream Topping
- Grind about 10 chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip lock bag.
- Mix in a pinch of salt.
- Pour popcorn into a bowl and drizzle with 3 – 4 tablespoons of butter.
- Mix with cookie crumb mixture
