Tips for Making Perfect Herbed Butter Popcorn

- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your popcorn. - Use a large pot or Dutch oven to pop the popcorn.

If you add too much popcorn to the pot, it will not pop properly. - Keep the pot covered while the popcorn is popping. This will help to prevent the popcorn from burning. - Shake the pot frequently while the popcorn is popping. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning. - Once the popcorn has popped, remove it from the heat and immediately add the melted butter and herbs. Toss to coat. - Serve the popcorn immediately, while it's still warm and crispy.
