Popcorn is the perfect blank canvas for creating treats. You can create decadent concoctions
with chocolate and candies or healthy, guilt-free snacks that everyone can enjoy. Here are
some recipes and ideas to get you started, but, once you start, your imagination can take over.
When you're done popping, start layering flavors. We find a light misting of olive oil, (many
great infused olive oils are also available) lemon or lime juice, balsamic vinegar, or even water
will help any additional seasonings adhere to the corn.
Try mixing and matching any of these for a healthy snack:
Aged and grated
Parmesan, Provolone, or
Romano cheese
Basil
Black pepper
Celery flakes
Chili powder
Chives
Cinnamon
Cloves
Melted chocolate or marshmallow is a great way to bind and layer decadent ingredients with
popcorn, or to create popcorn balls, bars, or pops. For a more traditional binder, boil 1 cup of
sugar with 1 cup of corn syrup, then add your other ingredients toss and form. Or while still
warm, roll balls or pops in crushed candies, coconut, chopped nuts, sprinkles.
