I really wanted to title this post “Five Fancy Pants Ways to Eat Popcorn,” but I controlled myself. This popcorn ain’t just your old movie butter microwave variety, oh no. These treats are party appropriate, festive and DE-licious (looking). You see, I’m actually torturing myself because I can’t eat popcorn (just like I can’t eat ice cream. Don’t worry, I supplement with donuts and cake instead). These recipes make me so jealous of those of you who can that I just needed to share them so you could eat some in my honor. Now, hop to it! I’m begging you!
1. Party Popcorn: This popcorn is so ready to party, it already got its sprinkles on! Package up little baggies of this sweet variety as birthday party favors for kid’s parties. And win best parent of the year award.

2. White Chocolate Lavender Vanilla Popcorn: Can you handle all of that!? Sheesh! This popcorn sounds so elegant. (Yeah, I called popcorn elegant. What!?) I feel like it would be perfect for spring dinner parties or book club gatherings.

3. Samoa Popcorn: Sure, you could just eat a Girl Scout Cookie, or you could eat a box of Girl Scout Cookies and THEN make Samoa popcorn. Sounds like a much better idea, no?

4. Chocolate Popcorn: If Trader Joe’s has taught me one thing, it’s that you can cover just about anything in chocolate and it will be great. Chocolate popcorn is definitely no exception in my mind, I mean, just LOOK at it!

5. Cinnamon Bun Popcorn: If you ever wanted an excuse to eat popcorn for breakfast, well here you go! What a fantastic unexpected treat to serve at a brunch, eh!? Plus, this is totally healthier than actual cinnamon buns. It’s all about the win-wins, people.

One of my favorite ways is a savory version with parm (or nutritional yeast if you’re vegan) and herbs! It’s also pretty boss with crisp nori.

Those both sound amazing! Now I’m even more jealous I can’t eat the stuff!! 😉

Kelly, you just made me so hungry! Our favorite Girl Scout cookies are the Samoas (even though they’re sadly re-named now…womp womp), so I’m dying to try that recipe. In Hawaii, we eat our popcorn with rice crackers, which we call kaki mochi or arare. Whenever I eat savory popcorn without it, I feel like something is missing!
Kelly says
They’re renamed!? I had no idea, clearly I am not up on my cookie lingo! Popcorn with rice crackers sounds so interesting!!
