Tips for Making Sweet and Spicy Sriracha Popcorn Mix:

Use fresh popcorn for the best flavor and texture. You can pop your own popcorn on the stovetop or in an air popper, or you can use pre-popped popcorn.
Make sure the popcorn is completely cooled before adding the sriracha sauce and sugar mixture. This will help the mixture to adhere to the popcorn and prevent it from becoming soggy.
Use a light hand when adding the sriracha sauce and sugar mixture. You can always add more if needed, but it's difficult to remove it once it's added.
If you like your popcorn extra spicy, you can add a few drops of additional sriracha sauce to the mixture.
For a sweeter popcorn mix, you can add a little more sugar to the mixture.
If you don't have sriracha sauce, you can substitute another hot sauce, such as Tabasco sauce or cayenne pepper sauce.
You can also add other ingredients to your popcorn mix, such as nuts, seeds, or dried fruit.

Conclusion:

Sweet and spicy sriracha popcorn mix is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for parties, movie nights, or anytime you need a quick and tasty treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a popcorn mix that is both sweet and spicy, with a little bit of heat from the sriracha sauce.
