Whether its: Lights, camera, action! or Ready! Set! Eat! creating a DIY Popcorn Bar for your next party is easy.
I helped throw one of my very best friends a baby shower a few months ago, to help celebrate her baby boy's impending arrival with lots of gifts and a little bit of good food.
I got the bright idea to create a popcorn bar so everyone could snack on the tasty kernels and taken some home as a souvenir. I bought these janky little "party favor" boxes at the Dollar Tree and they were terribly small and I do NOT recommend them.
Instead, make or buy paper cones or paper bags so guests can snack at the party or take the bag home.
Be creative! Put your popcorn in baskets lined with neutral or fun, decorative dish towels.
Use plastic or ceramic popcorn boxes for display purposes. I bought mine from Sur La Table quite a few years ago. I've seen the plastic ones at Target and Kmart.
Or go low-tech like me and repurpose brown craft paper bags into vessels by folding down the tops and placing them in large decorative whicker baskets.
Per 3 cups fresh hot of popcorn add:
Cinnamon Roll
1/2 T ground cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
Pinch of sea salt
2 T powdered non-dairy creamer
2 T granulated sugar
Mexican Taco
⅛ tsp coriander
2 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. cumin
Lightly Salted
1T kosher or sea salt
Use microwave popcorn or go old school and use a popcorn popper or pot on the stove for fresh popcorn.
