27 savory and sweet popcorn recipes for movie night
Embark on a popcorn adventure with this collection of 27 savory and sweet popcorn recipes! From classic kettle to red cinnamon, there’s something to elevate your next movie night experience.
As a child, I have vivid recollections of my sister lifting the lid on the pot as we were making popcorn, only to have a kernel explode out and hit her on the stomach (she was wearing a cropped top at the time).
Despite this early traumatic experience, I have many fond memories of bowls or buckets of popcorn, at home or at the movies.
Even now, my go to movie snack is a giant-sized bucket with a giant Fanta. Years of practice means I can perfectly balance the popcorn to drink ratio and finish both at the same time.
I still love making popcorn at home and love experimenting with different flavors.
There’s no better snack when it comes to a date night at home, snuggled up watching a romantic movie (maybe even one in the backyard),
To add to your experience, try one of these 27 savory and sweet popcorn recipes.
