NOTE: Premium popcorn has larger kernels, resulting in a higher yield of popped corn. If using premium popcorn, the yield may sometimes be greater than stated above.

The flavor possibilities for popcorn are end- less. Just add melted butter and your favorite seasonings to a bowl of popcorn.

With toppings added, popped popcorn will become much crisper and the flavors become more intense if it is heated with toppings in a 300°F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes before serving. For best results, heat it on a baking sheet lined with foil and coated with nonstick cooking spray.

NOTE: It is very important to use fresh popcorn. If your popcorn is old, the kernels will not fully pop and/or it may take longer for them to pop.
