Popcorn Toppings


Quote  |  Reply

Since we have all been talking about the wonders of cooking popcorn in a brown paper bag, let's talk about popcorn toppings!

I either use a ton of black pepper and some salt or I add this and shake it all up:

Black pepper

Garlic Powder

Seasoned Salt

A good amount of Dill

 

If I feel like I absolutely have to have some butter (sometimes it is all that kills the cravings!)  I melt some smart balance light buttery spread and drizzle it over.  1 tbsp for 45 calories and no trans fat at all.

I use garlic pwder & chili powder together or sweet n' low & cinnamon.  Yum.
Molly McButter.  Zero calories, comes in a powder form, usually around two dollars for a container (most stores have their own brand for a lot less).. :D

Where is the info on popping in a brown bag? I must have missed it...and I'm a popcorn freak!
I love dumping a ton of cayenne pepper on mine. I tend to overdo it on popcorn (not like its a big deal or anything haha) and a way I control myself is with that. My mouth is on fiyah by the time I'm done. Yumo.
i actually like popcorn plain, maybe a little salt.  but a great treat from my childhood that i still love today is a little honey drizzled on my popcorn.  so yum!  just a little will do.
Nutritional Yeast! Mmmm!
I keep the jar of Parmeasn cheese on hand and love to sprinkle that over popcorn.  A little spray first makes it stick better.
oh, and there is nothing healthy or diet about this, but absolutely decadent.

melt while chocolat chips and drizzle over buttered, salted popcorn.

It then firms up and you have the sweet/salty favor, yum.
This may sound abit odd but splenda on popcorn is MAGICAL

sugar free syrup (makes kettle corn!)

cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

garlic-chili powder

chili-lime powder

onion powder

lemongrass powder

curry powder

cheese flavored popcorn seasoning

parmesan cheese

real bacon bits

=^..^= MOLLY

Louisiana hot sauce!
i dont top it with anything. i love it by itself

 I SECOND THIS! gives popcorn a cheesy taste. add a bit of garlic salt and some red pepper on it and i'll eat a whole big bowl. usually i'll spray a little bit of braggs (liquid aminos) and cooking spray on my popcorn to get everything to stick to it. (i air pop mine.)

Ok maybe I'm a weirdo but I love it plain and perfectly cooked, or plain and really burnt...haha

Sometimes I make a point to burn it so the kernels stick together and form the black stuff =P

Rarely, but sometimes, I'll add cinnamon or garlic salt, but those have already been mentioned!
kernal's popcorn seasoning..( parmasean garlic) comes in like 15 flavours....the best....shake it on like salt! and add spray butter

yum

 haha -- I usually leave mine in the micro jest a touch too long so I get the burnt flavoring -- not fond of the black stuff, however

I also love the burnt flavoring without the black...it's all good haha

Good to know I'm not TOTALLY out there!

Thanks coach =P

It must be some kind of inborn error of metabolism - I do the same thing! It gives the popcorn a somewhat of a "smokey" taste - though I get complaints by cohabitants when the smoke alarm goes off every odd time now and then - or the smell that wafts into bedrooms....

Ditto for me - I've also done the dulce flakes (awesome for adding salt without adding salt).

I like salt on my popcorn. Anything else just ruins the experience.
