  1. This is a simple recipe. The key is the cheddar cheese powder AND the right popcorn. Your picture shows you used mushroom popcorn. This is important to get nice round popcorn that will be covered as you show. It would be nice for you to share with readers where they could purchase mushroom type popcorn as you did with the cheddar cheese powder.

    I used an air popper and the cheese popcorn came out really chewy and the cheese powder got all over your hands. Solution: I put the popcorn in a foil pan in the oven set at 25o for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes. let it cool and it some of the best cheese popcorn I have ever had. Nice and crunchy, the cheese powder doesn’t get all over your hands.

  3. This looks yummy. I’m going to try it, but I will be using ghee on the popped kernels instead of butter. Butter has too much water in it, which makes for soggy popcorn. I stopped using butter on popcorn some years ago, plus I use coconut oil to pop it in.

  4. 5 stars
    Yummy popcorn! I added a bit more butter and cheese powder… so good! Suggest mixing in a very large bowl with a lid and shaking to mix.
