Firecracker Popcorn
Ingredients:
1 bag Pop Secret Homestyle microwave popcorn

Prepare the popcorn according to package directions. Spread onto a cookie sheet and allow to cool.

Would it be fine if I made this recipe a day in advance or would the popcorn go bad?
Hi Chelsea! You can definitely make this early and store it in an air-tight container.
I have just made this and had a hard time melting the candy melt and drizzling. It was so hot and a little clumpy. I went ahead and mixed all of the popcorn and candy melt together and it turned out alright. It is very tasty.
That sounds like a great solution. Sorry you had trouble, Kristyn!
What a fun idea to use pop rocks with popcorn! Sounds delicious!
I have plain popcorn. How can I make that work? Thanks!
