Christmas Party Popcorn Food

PARTY POPCORN

Steps:

• Put the wok oil into the biggest pan you have with a lid over high heat, add the popcorn and quickly put on the lid. Let the popcorn pop, shaking the pan every now and then to keep the kernels moving. You will hear it but don't be tempted to look, unless you want to get shot at, and once it has stopped popping - a couple of minutes or so - take it off the heat.
• Melt the butter with the spices in another pan and then pour it over the popcorn and put everything into a large paper carrier bag/shopper. Shake, shake and shake the bag again to mix the popcorn and get it thoroughly coated in the spicy butter.
• Arrange in several party bowls.

CHRISTMAS PARTY POPCORN

Steps:

• Add popcorn to a large bowl.
• Place candy melts or white chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 15-second increments, stirring every 15 seconds, just until melted. It usually takes me about 1 minutes and a half with my microwave.
• Working quickly, pour melted candy melts or white chocolate over the popcorn and gently but quickly stir until the popcorn is coated.
• Top liberally with the sprinkles, stirring once or twice to help distribute the sprinkles.
• Spread on a parchment-paper-lined cookie sheet and allow to harden, about one hour. Break up and serve.
• Keeps up to three days at room temperature when kept in an airtight container.
