These toppings span from sweet to savory, catering to all taste buds.
Sweetness
Sweet cinnamon sugar bliss
If you crave for something sweet, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar to your popcorn.
Just mix one tablespoon of cinnamon with four tablespoons of sugar. Sprinkle it over your freshly popped popcorn and give it a good shake to coat everything evenly.
The warmth of the cinnamon and the sweetness of the sugar make for a cozy treat that's perfect for a relaxing evening.
Cheesy
Cheesy garlic heaven
A sprinkle of garlic powder and grated Parmesan cheese can take your popcorn to a whole new level of deliciousness.
Combine two teaspoons of garlic powder with half a cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle this flavorful blend over hot popcorn and toss until each piece is coated.
The cheesy garlic topping is a game-changer, adding a savory kick that's hard to resist.
Zesty
Zesty lime and chili kick
If you like your snacks with a little zing and a kick of spice, try this: lime zest + chili powder = popcorn magic!
Just grate the zest of one lime and mix it with a teaspoon of chili powder.
Sprinkle it over your popcorn for a tangy, spicy twist that's anything but boring.
Smoky
Smoky BBQ flavor burst
A smoky BBQ topping transforms plain popcorn into a crave-worthy snack that tastes like summer barbecues.
Just mix two tablespoons of BBQ seasoning with one teaspoon of smoked paprika, then sprinkle over warm popcorn.
This smoky blend adds depth and complexity, making it irresistibly moreish. You won't be able to stop at just one handful!
Chocolate
Vegan chocolate drizzle delight
For a vegan-friendly treat, melt 100g of vegan dark chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler.
Then, drizzle the melted chocolate over popcorn spread out on parchment paper.
Allow it to cool until the chocolate hardens, resulting in a delicious snack that combines the crunch of popcorn with the decadence of dark chocolate.
