Notes About The Easy Snickerdoodle Popcorn

• You can use either microwave popcorn or popcorn popped at home. If you are using microwave popcorn, just omit the salt from the recipe. The popcorn is already salty enough!
• I like to add about 2 teaspoons of coconut oil to my white chocolate when melting. This is optional, but I love how creamy it makes it.
• This popcorn is best stored at room temp. However, if your house is pretty warm in the summer, store it in the fridge. Otherwise, you will have a gooey mess!

History Of The Snickerdoodle

The snickerdoodle cookie came from Dutch and German immigrants to the United States. It gained its popularity in 1891 when a recipe for it was published in a New York newspaper.

How To Pop Popcorn In A Pan

Start with a large pan. The popcorn will pop to about 6 times its normal size so keep that in mind when you are putting it into the pan.

Then, add your oil to the pan and allow it to heat. I use about 2 tablespoons of oil per ¾ of a cup of popcorn.

Throw a couple of kernels into the hot oil. When these kernels pop, the oil is hot enough. Add in the rest of the popcorn and cover with a lid quickly. It will pop within just a few minutes.

When the popping slows, the popcorn is done. Take it off the heat and also remove the popcorn from the pan.

The residual heat in the pan will continue to cook and burn the popcorn if you don't take them out quickly. It is also important to take the lid off quickly as that captures a lot of moisture.

That's it! It's a little bit more time-consuming than microwave popcorn but very easy to make.
