I’m a big fan of popcorn and have loved snacking on it all of my life. When it comes to popcorn I like mine on the sweet side but my husband likes his on the spicy side with a kick. This recipe is really different and I would of never thought of combining these flavors together to make such a unique and satisfying treat! This recipe is courtesy of Popcorn.org. It will yield approximately 4 quarts of yummy goodness! I think it would be perfect to make and serve at a spring or summertime family get-together!

I never thought to use an egg white mixture to coat and flavor popcorn. It is a great idea. I love how the combinations of flavors can be changed too.
I love popcorn too but haven’t had it in the longest time. I so love lemons and use them almost everyday so I so want to try this wonderful recipe sounds super yummy thank you for sharing this one.
Its fun to try different flavors of popcorn. Lemon would certainly give it some zing.
This sounds so good. I have not heard of baking popcorn. That should do the trick.
That would be an unusual treat. I haven’t seen that method of coating popcorn.
I never thought of these flavors on popcorn but it sounds pretty good. I’ll give it a try.
