Ingredients List
- ✓ 8 cups Freshly popped popcorn
- ✓ 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- ✓ 1–2 tbsp Peppajoy Hot Sauce
- ✓ 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- ✓ 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
- ✓ Salt (to taste)
- ✓ Pinch of Cayenne pepper (optional)
Execution Steps
Prepare 8 cups of freshly popped popcorn using your preferred method—whether air-popped, microwave, or classic stovetop. Place the warm popcorn into a large, deep mixing bowl to give yourself plenty of room for tossing.
In a small saucepan set over low heat, gently melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, thoroughly stir in the Peppajoy hot sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and an optional pinch of cayenne if you want extra heat. Whisk continuously until the seasoned butter is smooth, uniform, and glossy.
Slowly drizzle the warm, spicy butter over the bowl of popcorn while continuously tossing and shaking the container. Working in batches helps distribute the glaze evenly across every single piece, ensuring a perfect balance of rich butter and spicy kick without making the popcorn soggy.
