How Do I Store Cheddar Popcorn?

Keep popcorn fresh for a few weeks.

To make cheddar popcorn, pop the corn kernels and sprinkle them with cheddar cheese powder. Toss the fresh popcorn with a bit of melted butter prior to sprinkling it the powder, which will help the cheese stick to the popcorn. Cheddar cheese popcorn makes an ideal snack on family movie night, or a easy-to-make party appetizer. If you have leftover cheese popcorn, or if you want to make it ahead of a party, store it properly to keep the crunchy kernels fresh and tasty. Does this Spark an idea?
