Spicy White Cheddar Popcorn

Spicy White Cheddar Popcorn

Delicious homemade white cheddar popcorn with a spicy kick! 

Course Appetizer, Snack

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels (about 8 cups popped)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3/4-1 cup white cheddar cheese, finely shredded
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Microwave Directions: Place popcorn kernels in a small paper bag - I like to do mine in two batches, 1/4 cup at a time (I reuse the same bag). Pop on high for 2-2:30, until most of the kernels have popped or there's about 3 seconds between pops.

  2. Pour popcorn into a large bowl. Drizzle with melted butter, lightly stir to coat the popcorn. 

  3. Add cheese, cayenne pepper and salt, lightly stir to coat the popcorn.

  4. Serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

Shred your own cheese for this, the texture is so much better and will stick to the popcorn better!
