Introduction: Spicy Mocha Popcorn
Sometimes it's fun to shake up the plain old butter-and-salt. We've found this combination to be deep, sweet and spicy all at once.
Step 1: Ingredients
In addition to your popcorn, you need (left to right):
- sugar
- cayenne pepper
- cocoa powder
- instant espresso
- salt
Step 2: Mix
A little goes a long way. You can tweak your proportions, but here's a start:
Whisk it together. You should end up with about 1-1/2 Tbs. powder.
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 1-2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/-8-1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Whisk it together. You should end up with about 1-1/2 Tbs. powder.
Step 3: Sprinkle
Sprinkle this over your popped popcorn, toss and enjoy.
Note: I make popcorn with oil on the stove. If you use a hot air popper, you may consider drizzling oil or butter over the popcorn before adding the powder. Ditto with oil-free microwave popcorn.
