Various tasty popcorn recipes.
Now if you have ever had a child in sports, a club, or any other after-school activity you will know that at some point it will be your turn to bring the group snack. A big UH OH! With so many picky taste buds, allergies, and lack of time on my part, I have found it the best and easiest (and most frugal) to bring popcorn, usually individually packaged in those cute popcorn bags I find a Target or Sam's Club. Most kids (and their parents) enjoy the popcorn.

But wait a minute! My SIL Donna, the one that taught me how to make Shark Attack Popcorn sent me two magazine articles with some pimped up popcorn. So for this "Car Picnic"- The UH OH's, It's My Turn To Bring The Snack! installment I will show you some real designer popcorn to bring to the ballpark. Or even the office or classroom.

  • How to make popcorn. Pop Pop Pop Popcorn! - Step 1
    Step 1

    For all of the following recipes I have used my Whirley Pop Popcorn Maker to make the popcorn instead of using microwave popcorn. I pop 1/2 cup kernels and 2 T. vegetable oil. I prefer Orville Redenbacher Popcorn kernels. I have also salted the popcorn with popcorn salt before adding the rest of the ingredients.

    Rainforest Popcorn- To 6 quarts Whirley Pop popcorn or one batch of microwave popcorn, sprinkle with toasted coconut, banana chips, and chocolate chips. Totally saturated fattening but yummy just the same.

    NOTE- With the above pocorns it is common for the smaller chips and bits to sink to the bottom, so be sure to place them on top of the big bowl or on top of each individual's portion.
