A cheddar and chili popcorn topping with a little garlic, tossed with butter over 4 to 5 cups of fresh popcorn. Because the cheese is perishable, make it fresh rather than as a jar gift.

Ingredients

  • 5 cups popped popcorn
  • 2 Tbsp melted salted butter
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Directions

  • Toss the popcorn with the butter.
  • Scatter the cheese and seasonings over it and toss until evenly coated.
  • Optional: microwave for a few seconds to melt the cheese.

Notes

Shredded cheddar is perishable; for a gift jar only the chili powder and garlic powder would keep.
