- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt

Popcorn
- 1/2 cup Popcorn Kernels 16 cups popped
- 5 tbsp Unsalted Butter
Instructions

- Pop your popcorn kernels using your preferred method. You can use an air popper, stovetop, or microwave.
- Make sure to remove any unpopped kernels and place the popped corn into a large mixing bowl.
- While the popcorn is popping, in a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter. Microwave butter in 20 second intervals to avoid it splattering the microwave.

- Transfer your dill pickle popcorn to a large serving bowl or individual portions for everyone to enjoy!
Notes
-
- Freshness matters when it comes to popcorn. Check the expiration date on your popcorn package.
- Choose plain, unseasoned popcorn kernels. Flavored or pre-seasoned popcorn may clash with the dill pickle flavor.
- After popping, sift through the popcorn to remove any unpopped or partially popped kernels. You don't want any unpleasant surprises when you bite into your snack.
- When combining the popcorn with the butter and seasonings, use a gentle tossing motion to ensure even distribution without crushing the popcorn.
- Feel free to experiment with additional spices and seasonings. For a spicy twist, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. Or for a smoky flavor, a touch of paprika.
- Dill pickle popcorn is best enjoyed fresh, so try to serve it shortly after making to maintain its ideal flavor & texture.
- If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container to keep the popcorn crispy. However, keep in mind that the texture may soften over time.
