POPCORN SEASONING MIXES
When our grandkids sleep over, we usually watch a movie; they like seasoned popcorn but we pefer the plain old buttered stuff! Thanx to Martha Stewart, we now spend a little quality time in the kitchen as each child "cooks up" a mix before "show time"! All of the variations can be doubled or tripled, depending on the size of the container you plan to use. The Italian mixture should be kept in the refrigerator, as it contains fresh cheese.

Tips:
- Choose the right popcorn kernels. Many different types of popcorn kernels are available, such as butterfly, mushroom, and white hulless. Experiment with different types to find the one you like best.
- Use fresh popcorn kernels. Old popcorn kernels will not pop as well as fresh kernels. If you are using store-bought popcorn kernels, check the expiration date before using them.
- Measure the popcorn kernels correctly. Too much or too little popcorn kernels will result in unpopped kernels or popcorn that is too dense.
- Heat the oil or butter over medium-high heat. If the oil or butter is too hot, the popcorn will burn. If it is not hot enough, the popcorn will not pop properly.
- Add the popcorn kernels to the hot oil or butter. Be sure to spread the kernels out in a single layer so that they all have a chance to pop.
- Cover the pan and shake it frequently. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Listen for the popping sounds to slow down. When the popping sounds start to slow down, remove the pan from the heat. This will prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Pour the popcorn into a bowl and season it to taste. There are many different ways to season popcorn, such as with salt, butter, melted chocolate, or powdered sugar.
Conclusion:
Popcorn is a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With so many different ways to season popcorn, there is sure to be a flavor that everyone will enjoy. Whether you like your popcorn salty, sweet, buttery, or cheesy, there is a recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a snack, reach for a bowl of popcorn instead of a bag of chips or candy. Not only is popcorn a healthier choice, but it is also a lot more fun to eat!
