Glitterrazzi Popcorn Recipes

Steps:

• Put the oil and 3 popcorn kernels in a 6-quart saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until the kernels pop. Add the remaining kernels, cover, and remove from the heat for 30 seconds. Return the pan to the heat; within a minute you should hear the kernels start to pop. Cook, gently shaking the pan occasionally, until the popping sound slows down, about 2 minutes. Towards the end of popping, lift up the lid slightly to let out the steam to help keep the popcorn crisp. Wait 5 seconds and pour the popcorn into a large paper bag.
• Melt the butter in the popcorn saucepan and drizzle it over the popcorn. Shake the bag, then add the gorgonzola powder, salt, pepper and hickory smoke powder. Shake the bag once more to coat all the kernels.

Steps:

• Pop popcorn according to package directions. Open bag carefully and pour into large bowl; discard unpopped kernels.
• Add nuts and cranberries to bowl with popcorn; stir well.
• In microwave oven or double boiler melt chips according to package directions.
• Pour over popcorn mixture; stir until evenly coated.
• Spread onto large rimmed baking sheet; sprinkle with cinnamon, stirring to distribute evenly.
• Cool completely.
• Sprinkle with gold powder if desired.
• Store tightly covered.
• Serve in martini glass for unique presentation.
