5 Ways to Make the Most Out of Microwave Popcorn Flavors

As Fort Worth's resident popcorn aficionado, I am proud to share my favorite tips for making the most out of your microwave popcorn bags. Whether you're looking for some classic popcorn deliciousness, or something with a bit more kick, I've got you covered.

1. Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese and Italian Seasoning: This classic Italian flavor combination takes microwave popcorn to the next level. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning over popped corn and enjoy. It’s a great way to enjoy a “movie night in”!

2. Add a Sprinkle of Balsamic Vinegar: If you like your popcorn bold, you can create your own custom flavor by adding a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar after popping. It adds a tart, slightly sweet flavor that will give your popcorn an entirely new dimension.

3. Get Creative with Sweetness: If you’re a fan of sweet popcorn, there are endless possibilities. Try creating a honey-maple syrup glaze or using your favorite caramel sauce for an all-natural, gooey treat. You can also give your popcorn a little sizzle with a sprinkle of sweet chili powder.

4. Spice it Up with Spices: Add a kick to your popcorn with your favorite spices. I love to mix chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika for a smoky, spicy flavor.

5. Try Kettle Corn Seasoning: Ready to make a concession stand classic in your own microwave? Kettle corn seasoning adds a hint of sweetness and saltiness to your popcorn, perfect for a fun snack the whole family can enjoy.
