Homemade Caramel Corn

Making homemade caramel popcorn is a fun project that results and a sweet and crispy snack that everyone loves. 

This caramel popcorn (caramel corn) is such a treat and is totally hard to resist. It stays crispy and fresh for several days, and is pretty enough to package up for gifts or party favors. 

Parmesan Thyme Popcorn with Browned Butter

This parmesan thyme popcorn with browned butter recipe is a great way to dress up plain popcorn for a party. 

 This popcorn is lightly buttered with browned butter flavored with minced garlic and fresh thyme and then tossed with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. 

Hurricane Popcorn

Hurricane popcorn is a wonderful Hawaiian snack made with fresh buttered popcorn mixed with mochi crunch (mixed arare rice crackers) and nori furikake (a Japanese rice seasoning). 

Hurricane Popcorn was first sold from a pushcart from the Windward Mall in Kaneohe, O'ahu, Hawaii. It was so popular, that the creator started The Hawaiian Hurricane Company and sells the very popular snack throughout the Islands in theaters, event venues, and stores. 

How to Make Popcorn in a Wok

Making popcorn in a wok is a great way to both season your carbon steel wok and make amazing popcorn. 

I have always liked making my own popcorn in a pot. While microwave popcorn is pretty convenient, freshly popped "real" popcorn is so much better. Plus, you can make enough for a crowd and the only ingredients are corn, oil, and salt (unless you add your own flavorings).

Halloween Treat Popcorn Balls

These Halloween popcorn balls, tossed together with a concoction of melted marshmallows and butter, along with candy corn and peanuts, are super fun to make! 

Popcorn balls are such an easy treat to make. You could even make them with kids. Just be sure to make a little extra popcorn for your helpers for snacking. 

Sweet and Salty Popcorn Cookies

These sweet and salty popcorn cookies are so satisfyingly tasty. You get crunch, you get sweet, you get saltiness, and you get chocolate, all in the guise of a little mini popcorn ball of a cookie. 

The best part of these cookies is that you can have five or six of them, as opposed to one or two "regular" cookies. They are pretty much all air, right? That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Another advantage to making these cookies is that you don't have to fire up your oven! The only cooking involved is making browned butter and melting the marshmallows that hold the goodness together.
