DIY Popcorn Bar
Did you know that Americans consume more than 16 billion quarts of popped popcorn each year? Celebrate National Popcorn Poppin' Month this October with four popcorn ideas—salty, spicy or sweet—that go beyond the usual toppings!

DIY Popcorn Bar

A popcorn bar is a fun and easy way to have guests take an active role in the party. Provide a wide range of toppings and watch them get creative dreaming up delicious flavor combinations. You can even host a taste test and award prizes to the tastiest concoctions.

Simply set out a large bowl of popcorn and surround it with smaller bowls with various popcorn fixings. Let each person fill a paper bag or other container with popcorn and top or mix with their desired flavorings.

Topping ideas:

  • Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, apricots)
  • Dried herbs and spices (oregano, cinnamon, nutmeg)
  • Nuts (pine nuts, peanuts, slivered almonds, pumpkin seeds)
  • Small candies (chocolate pieces, peanut butter chips, marshmallows)

These recipes make it easy to prepare crowd-pleasers for all ages ahead of time so you can focus on the fun. Find more festive popcorn recipes to help plan your next party at www.Popcorn.org.
