INGREDIENTS
10 cups
popped popcorn (or one 3-oz. bag plain microwave popcorn, popped)
3 tbsp
butter
2 tbsp
Sriracha
1 tsp
sesame oil
1 tbsp
sesame seeds
1 tbsp
finely grated lime zest
Salt
PREPARATION
Put popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
Heat butter and Sriracha in a small saucepan over medium heat or in a microwave-safe bowl until butter melts, and whisk to emulsify the sauce.
Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil, sesame seeds, and lime zest. Drizzle over popcorn and mix until evenly combined. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
When you whisk it, the sauce will turn a pretty orange color.
INGREDIENTS
10 cups
popped popcorn (or one 3-oz. bag plain microwave popcorn, popped)
4 tbsp
butter
2 tbsp
fresh rosemary (1 Tbsp. finely minced, 1 Tbsp. whole leaves)
1 tbsp
finely grated lemon zest
Salt
PREPARATION
Put popcorn in large mixing bowl.
How to brown butter: Heat butter over medium-low heat or in the microwave until it melts, turns golden-brown and starts to smell nutty. Swirl the pan or bowl frequently so it heats evenly and doesn't burn. Stop when the foam subsides.
Remove butter from heat and add rosemary and lemon zest; let sit for a few seconds. Drizzle butter over popcorn and mix until evenly distributed. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
After the foam settles, you'll be able to see the bits of milk solids in the butter browning. Take it off the heat while it's still light golden-brown, or it might burn.
Kosher salt is flakier than regular table salt and sticks to the popcorn better.
INGREDIENTS
10 cups
popped popcorn (or one 3-oz. bag plain microwave popcorn, popped)
4 tbsp
butter
1
bag mini marshmallows, divided
1
sleeve graham crackers (9 crackers)
1/2 cup
mini chocolate chips
Salt
PREPARATION
Break graham crackers into small pieces and toss with popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add ½ bag marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows melt and the mixture is smooth and shiny.
Drizzle marshmallow goo evenly over the popcorn in the bowl and toss to mix (use an oiled metal spoon to keep it from sticking).
Once the popcorn and cracker pieces are coated, add the rest of the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips and mix everything together. Sprinkle with salt to taste (don't be shy).
The popcorn will be sticky and form clumps, but you can break these up a little bit after it cools. Also, s'mores clumps are delicious.

INGREDIENTS
10 cups
popped popcorn (or one 3-oz. bag plain microwave popcorn, popped)
8
slices bacon
2 tbsp
butter
2 tbsp
maple syrup
1/2 tsp
freshly ground black pepper
Salt
PREPARATION
Put popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
Spread bacon on a wire rack set in a sheet pan and bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until crispy. Let cool. Crumble or slice bacon into small pieces.
Collect 1 Tbsp. bacon drippings from pan and heat in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl with butter and maple syrup until butter melts.
Mix bacon bits into sauce and drizzle over popcorn. Sprinkle with pepper and salt to taste and toss to coat evenly.
This is the least fussy, least splattery way to cook bacon, and it makes collecting the fat from the pan easy.
