Whether you live in the residence hall or your own place, try these simple popcorn recipes from the Food Network that you’ll be making for weekends to come. I whipped these up for my Oscar party and they were a huge hit.
Cheesy Popcorn
- 1 (3.5) ounce package of natural microwave popcorn (not the buttered kind)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Kosher Salt (I prefer sea salt)
Pop the popcorn then put into a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil and mix. Toss in the parmesan and mix. Season with sea salt and enjoy!
Sweet and Spicy Popcorn
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 (3.5) ounce package of natural microwave popcorn (not the buttered kind)
Put the sugar, butter, and chili powder into a medium bowl and microwave until the butter melts. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Pop your popcorn and add the popcorn to a large bowl. Drizzle your sugar, butter, and chili powder over the popcorn and toss.
Rocky Road Popcorn (my personal favorite)
- 1 (3.5) ounce package of natural microwave popcorn (not the buttered kind)
- 1 cup mini or regular chocolate chips
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup salted peanuts
Pop the popcorn and throw into a large bowl while adding the chocolate chips and marshmallows while it’s still hot. Throw the popcorn, chips, and marshmallows in the microwave for about a minute to get the ingredients extra gooey. Add the peanuts and enjoy!
Each of these recipes make the perfect movie night snack or a pefect gift idea for someone special.
