For as long as I can remember, every Sunday night my family had "Snack Night". Sometimes, it would be something like bean dip and tortilla chips. More frequently though, it would be air-popped popcorn, apples and crackers with cheese.
As an adult, I have carried on this tradition within my own family. There's not much that I enjoy more than curling up on a Sunday night with a big bowl of air-popped popcorn, especially on a windy, chilly night like tonight.
A couple of weeks ago when I was in the store, I picked up a couple of popcorn toppings. Tonight felt like a good night to try them out. Our air popper met with an unfortunate incident several months ago, so I had to pop it on the stove. I had never popped it this was before and actually really enjoyed doing so.
After the popcorn was all popped, I divided it up into five bowls. I topped two with the commercial popcorn toppings I had purchased (bacon cheddar and chocolate carmel), two with toppings I had made myself (parmesan garlic and cinnamon sugar) and I topped the final one with our go to salt and butter, just in case we didn't dig any of the flavors we were trying. I'm not sure why I was worried-- Hubby will eat just about anything!
It turned out that we enjoyed all the flavors we tried. My husband, in particular, loved the two toppings I created, so I thought I would share them with you.
PARMESAN-GARLIC POPCORN TOPPING
1/4 C. Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 T. Garlic Salt
Combine both ingredients in a bowl.
Sprinkle onto popcorn.
CINNAMON SUGAR TOPPING
3:1 Sugar to Cinnamon
(3 T. Sugar 1 T. Cinnamon)
Combine in a bowl.
Sprinkle onto popcorn.
(Or toast. Or cereal.)
There you have it. Easy-peasy and SUPER delicious. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. I am definitely looking forward to inventing and trying many more flavors.
