Tips:

  • Use fresh popcorn: Fresh popcorn will pop better and have a better flavor than old popcorn.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven: This will give the popcorn plenty of room to pop.
  • Use enough oil: The oil will help the popcorn pop evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Add the sugar and salt after the popcorn has popped: This will help the sugar and salt to adhere to the popcorn.
  • Use a variety of toppings: You can use any toppings you like, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.
  • Enjoy your popcorn fresh: Popcorn is best enjoyed fresh, so eat it as soon as possible after it has been made.
