Pep Up Your Popcorn!

We enjoyed an amazing birthday party for my daughter this past Saturday night. All planning and preparation seemed to be on time and going well. I was a bit anxious, as is to be expected, but mostly relaxed. Well, that was until I realised that I had not yet mixed the three welcome drinks or made the popcorn packets for the welcome table. Fast forward 30 minutes and guests were starting to arrive. The popcorn would be served plain with only salt, much to my dismay. All the flavours I had planned just could not happen.

So today, I've made a delicious batch of popcorn just to let myself know that I can.

Truffle, chilli and Butter Popcorn

Pop your popcorn as per the instructions on the packet. While that's popping, in a separate saucepan, melt a tablespoon of butter to which you add a tablespoon of chilli flakes (or whatever you can handle) and a few generous drops of truffle oil.. When popcorn is popped, drizzle with the melted butter mixture and salt to taste.

This popcorn can be enjoyed with a simple coke or would stand up just perfectly to a glass of good bubbly!

Enjoy!
