Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks, but the same buttery taste can get rather boring after awhile. We here on Spoon have come up with multiple popcorn recipes that fill this basic treat with extraordinary flavor, meaning you can say goodbye to boring popcorn. Here are some of our favorite ways to amplify the classic popcorn treat and make it salty, sweet, and everything in between.
