Sugar-N-Spice Popcorn

So, while most of us are resolving to eat better and maybe try to lose a few pounds... what's my first post of 2013??? Sugar-N-Spice Popcorn! Yep, it has butter-yep, it has sugar and yep, it could even have salt if you're so inclined... But I promise you an enjoyable, finger licking treat that will make even the worst movie worth watching! And really, how bad for you can it be... it is popcorn after all:@)

Sugar-N-Spice Popcorn-from Posed Perfection
4 quarts popped popcorn-1/2 C kernels using a hot air popper
5 Tblsp butter, melted
2-3 Tblsp sugar-I used 2 1/2
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Sprinkling of salt-optional
  1. Mix the butter, sugar and spices until the sugar begins to melt a bit.
  2. Pour over popcorn and mix very well.
  3. Dig in and love life!
Notes:
  • I popped my corn right onto a half sheet pan and melted the butter in a measuring cup with pour spout. This allowed me to slowly drizzle as much popcorn as possible. Then I mixed it on the sheet pan. Other than having to re-gather a couple stray pieces of popcorn this worked very well.
  • The nutmeg is amazing in this, if you have freshly grated that would be best.
Enjoy a (somewhat healthier) snack and have a happy day:@)
