How to Flavor Popcorn

Popcorn is a delicious snack that many people enjoy, but it can pack on calories when you covered it with salt and butter. If you want to keep your popcorn both yummy and healthy, you can flavor it with several alternatives.

Instructions

1. Drizzle the popcorn with dark chocolate. Microwave dark chocolate chips and pour it over the popcorn. Dark chocolate is delicious and lower in fat than milk chocolate.

2. Use chili powder to flavor the popcorn. If you enjoy popcorn with a little bit of kick, sprinkle a generous amount of chili powder over it. A hot pepper sauce can also be used to create spicy popcorn.

3. Put cheese on the popcorn. Choosing a low fat cheese to sprinkle on warm popcorn will be healthier than drowning it in butter. Parmesan or dry blue cheese are two delicious choices.

4. Place garlic powder or garlic salt over the kernels. This will give the popcorn enough flavor so that you don't miss the regular salt and butter.

5. Add a fruit flavor to the popcorn. Cover the popcorn in a low fat butter spray and then add the powder of a fruit flavored drink. Strawberry tastes particularly delicious.

6. Sweeten the popcorn with cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle equal parts cinnamon and sugar over the popcorn. The mixture will stick better if the popcorn is moistened with a low fat butter spray.
