Recipe FAQs and Notes
How long does it take for the popcorn to harden and break apart?
Not long at all. In about 10 minutes of time, the popcorn will be ready to eat! That’s a super short amount of time to have to wait for this sweet treaet!
How do you store leftover popcorn?
The last thing that you want to have happened is to let the air make the popcorn stale. Just store it in an airtight container until you’re ready to enjoy it again.
Can you add fun toppings to popcorn?
I think this recipe is good, but you can always add in some chocolate chips or even some fun sprinkles for a pop of color.
If you want to have everyone add their own toppings to their own bowls, then you can have a topping bar or bowls of different toppings for everyone to add as they want.
