Ingredients
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup crushed pretzels
Instructions
Pop the popcorn: In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add popcorn kernels, cover, and shake occasionally until popping slows. Remove from heat and transfer popcorn to a large bowl.
Prepare the toppings: In small bowls, combine Parmesan, garlic powder, and smoked paprika for a savory mix. In another bowl, mix cayenne with a pinch of salt for a spicy option. For sweet, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Set out chocolate chips and crushed pretzels separately.
Drizzle melted butter over the popcorn and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the topping bowls around the popcorn. Let guests sprinkle their preferred toppings over individual servings.
Tips
Store leftover toppings in airtight containers at room temperature for up to a week.
For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil instead of butter.
