Recipe Tips

• Combining Ingredients – We recommend adding about half of the popcorn to the bowl then topping with the seasoning. Then add in remaining popcorn and combine. This ensures that all the popcorn is covered with the flavoring.

How to Store Leftover Popcorn

Store the leftovers at room temperature for up to 3 days.  It’s best to store the popcorn in a brown paper bag so that it doesn’t get too soft.
