SPICY POPCORN
This recipe is for the person who likes everything spicy hot!! I learned about this trick from a coworker who is a hot food freak! The spicy oil can be used for a varitiey of foods; different types of oils can be used as well. Peanut oil is the best overall choice, since it withstands higher temperatures.

Steps:
- Put the vegetable or peanut oil in a pot suitable for popping corn.
- Warm the oil gently and place sliced habanero in the oil (be careful to wash your hands after handling, and don't touch your eyes or nose!) Stir occasionally for 3 minutes.
- Be careful not to heat the oil too much; the smoke from the oil will cause your lungs and eyes to burn.
- Remove the sliced habanero from the oil and discard.
- Pop your popcorn like you normally would in the spicy oil.
- Add your favorite popcorn condiments, such as melted butter, salt, cheese flavoring, or my favorite, butter flavored sprinkles, and enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right popcorn kernels. Not all popcorn kernels are created equal. For the best results, use a variety of popcorn kernels that are specifically designed for popping.
- Use the right amount of oil. Too much oil can make your popcorn greasy, while too little oil can make it dry.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat. This will help to ensure that the popcorn pops evenly.
- Add the popcorn kernels to the hot oil. Be sure to spread the kernels out in a single layer.
- Cover the pot and shake it frequently. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Listen for the popping to slow down. Once the popping slows down to about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
- Pour the popcorn into a serving bowl. Add your desired seasonings and enjoy!
