Spicy Sweet Popcorn Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the butter, sugar, cinnamon, chipotle and salt in a saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, until the butter melts and starts to bubble, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the popcorn to a large bowl. Working quickly, pour the butter mixture over the popcorn and use 2 rubber spatulas to evenly coat the popcorn.

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons coconut oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the popcorn kernels, partially cover and cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until the popping slows down. Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl. Wipe out the pot.
• Stir the confectioners' sugar, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, the garlic powder, cumin and cayenne together in a small bowl.

Steps:

• Place the popcorn kernels in a heavy-bottomed large pot and add enough oil just to cover them. Put the lid on and cook on high until you hear the first pop. Immediately take it off the heat and let it sit 1 minute. Then return it to the heat and finish popping, shaking the pan the whole time. Toss the cheese with the white pepper.
• In a large bowl, toss the popcorn with the butter well then with the cheese and black pepper mixture and taste for seasoning.

Steps:

• In a heavy pot on high heat, add the oil and 1 kernel of popcorn; then cover. When the kernel pops, add the rest of the kernels and cover. Pop while gently sliding and shaking the pot back and forth to move kernels around inside. Cook until the popping slows dramatically to 1 or 2 pops per second. Remove the popcorn from the pot and pour on top of a wire rack in a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly salt. Using the same pot, add the butter, maple syrup, cayenne, cumin, cinnamon and chili powder and stir to combine. Cook over medium-high heat until it bubbles. Gently pour over the popcorn, allow to cool slightly, then tranfer to a bowl, toss with tongs, and serve immediately.
