Spicy Popcorn with Cheese Crumbs

I’ve been popping my own popcorn on the stove top for a few years now. The result is fresh just-popped popcorn with toppings and seasonings that can be customized to your liking. I love adding a little bit of crushed oregano. I also like to zest a lime over it and sprinkle it with lime juice. The flavor is unique and goes surprisingly well with the hot steamy popcorn.
I was recently introduced to Whisps Cheese Crumbs. These cheese crumbs are seasoned with a variety of flavors. They can be used as a topping for texture or added to soups, salads and stews for flavor. These were the perfect addition to my freshly made popcorn.
If making popcorn on the stove is not your thing, you can definitely add the flavor of Whisps Cheese Crumbs to your microwave popcorn or movie theatre popcorn. You didn’t hear it from me but these little pouches fit perfectly in a purse. Simply open, sprinkle and enjoy your movie.

Spicy Popcorn with Cheese Crumbs
- Yield: Serves 4
Description
Kick your popcorn up a notch with the flavor of new Whisps Cheese Crumbs. This recipe is easy and delicious.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2/3 cup popcorn kernels
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon dried oregano, crushed
2 tablespoons chili powder
½ cup Whisps Cheese Crumbs
Instructions
Add oil to a heavy pot with lid. Add a “test” kernel; cover and heat over medium high heat.
When the kernel pops, immediately add popcorn kernels; cover and shake pot to coat kernels evenly with oil.
When kernels begin to pop, leave the lid cracked enough to let steam escape, shake pot every 20 seconds to avoid popcorn burning.
When there is 1-2 seconds in between pops, turn heat off. Immediately add butter, oregano, chili powder and cheese crumbs. Stir to coat evenly. Enjoy.
