Popcorn: My go - to Snack

Kernels popped in olive oil,
Butter-drizzled and
tossed with salt or Parmesan 
or candied as balls!
Versatile delight
in puffs of
white!

Linda Alice Fowler Date: 5/5/2025 7:45:00 AM I am a purist when it comes to popcorn - salt and butter (even salt and EVOO) satisfy me just fine. Congratulations Andrea! :) Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/5/2025 5:34:00 PM You don't like cheese flavored though?

Have a fun day with your win....... Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/4/2025 12:48:00 PM I eat a big bowl of it nearly every night. Organic and hot air popped and I use olive oil spray over it and a bit of melted butter. It's really nice with Parmesan , Italian seasonings and garlic salt!

Duke Beaufort Date: 5/2/2025 1:13:00 PM Andrea, you're making me want to pop a bag right now. It is such a delight as you say!! Smiles!! Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/4/2025 12:50:00 PM It's the best. I make awesome popcorn balls at Halloween time too

Vanya Evangeline Date: 5/1/2025 8:27:00 AM Oh, I never had popcorn popped in olive oil. It's always just butter (or margarine if we're being cheap). Might be worth a try. Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/1/2025 12:55:00 PM do try it. Olive oil is best for cooking. You can just eat it with nothing over it if it's been cooked in lots of olive oil. It'll taste fine even without butter added.

Sara Kendrick Date: 4/22/2025 4:48:00 PM Ahh!! The snack that keeps on giving. So creative in its uses and also in what to do with it as a snack. If for a contest, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing it with us. Sara K Login to Reply

Lin Lane Date: 4/22/2025 1:44:00 PM Popcorn balls are fun to eat, and so scrumptious if the syrup is just to the caramelized point. Login to Reply
