Unusual popcorn toppings for your movie marathons

The day I published this episode was a Friday, so I’m going to share some awesome popcorn flavourings you can make at home while enjoying a horror movie marathon. I mean it is Friday the 13th — Bwahahahaha!

Now what’s better to snack on during a horror movie marathon than homemade popcorn? But popcorn can get booooooring. And there’s only so much butter you can drizzle before it starts to taste like a heart attack waiting to happen.

So here are some interesting popcorn flavourings you can whip up at home, either making a couple of different batches or keep trying all till you find your fave:
You can either go simply salty, or sweet, or spicy, or sour or you could make killer combos!

1. A sweet and salty one like salted caramel
2. A sweet and spicy one such as sweet chilli
3. A sweet and not so spicy one like brown sugar, cinnamon and a dash of Tabasco
4. A sweet and sour one with dried mango powder, you know, amchur and either brown sugar or jaggery powder
5. And for those who like walking that thin line between pleasure and pain, you can go hot and sour — with lemon juice-chilli powder, or vinegar and red chilli powder.

You can play with so many permutations and combinations of these, and experiment with more ingredients, the possibilities are endless.

No more crappy microwave popcorn! Freedom from carcinogenic gunk that tastes good but lines your arteries for a looooong time.
