I am a purist when it comes to popcorn - salt and butter (even salt and EVOO) satisfy me just fine. Congratulations Andrea! :)

You don't like cheese flavored though?

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!

It's the best. I make awesome popcorn balls at Halloween time too

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.

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.

My mouth is watering Dear Andrea. Such a lovely snack you have chosen to write about. I think of my younger years snacking at the Movie Theater, those were the days...

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

Popcorn balls are fun to eat, and so scrumptious if the syrup is just to the caramelized point.
