Ingredients

  • 5 5 5 tablespoons cheddar cheese powder
  • 1 1 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/4 1 1/4 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 1/4 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 4 4 tablespoons Romano cheese powder
  • 2 2 2 tablespoons sea salt
  • 2 2 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 1 1 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 1 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1 1 teaspoon dried basil

Preparation

Step 1

There are only a handful of situations in which plain or lightly salted popcorn is better than flavored.  Game nights are one, the nights that you want to grab a handful or two of popcorn while someone else takes their turn without getting cheesy fingerprints on all the game pieces.   These popcorn seasonings are for all those other nights. With some of these, your fingertips may get a little stained with cheesy, spicy goodness.  But that’s okay.  Embrace the messiness, and know that the flavor more than makes up for it.

Putting the box together is simple. Layer tissue paper along the bottom of the box.  Fill and label each jar, then nestle them into the gift box.  Add a bag of popcorn seasonings, and tie the gift box shut.

: Mix together 5 parts granulated sugar and 1 part ground cinnamon.

Makes about 1/4 cup

This recipe makes enough to fill one 4-ounce spice jar, but can easily be scaled up to make as many gifts as you need. To make four gifts, for instance, multiply all ingredient amounts by four.

Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Sprinkle over lightly oiled or buttered popcorn.

Great idea!!! Regarding the cinnamon sugar though, I think you meant to write 5 parts sugar, 1 part cinnamon…. oops! Easy mistake to make, I almost repeated it here!
