How to Use Flavors With Popcorn

New flavors may cause popcorn to disappear faster than usual.

Along with candy and soda, hot buttery popcorn has long been a favorite movie-time snack. The next time your family is settling in on the sofa for an evening of movies and snacks, surprise them with a bowl full of popcorn that has been flavored in a new way. The butter that is usually already on popcorn can help any flavors that you add stick to the kernels. Your popcorn can be sweetened, spiced up, or made to taste like some of your favorite foods. Does this Spark an idea?
