Seeking The Perfect Jalapeño Popcorn Recipe

Jalapeño popcorn is pretty much an Air Force thing, made in squadron “bars” or snack bars by the “Snack O” or snack officer who is generally one of the NUGs in the squadron. Making jalapeño popcorn isn’t the only duty of this auspicious office. They also manage the money of the snack fund and handle all the other snacks making regular runs to either the commissary or Costco to pick up things like zebra cakes and various energy drinks. ??

Now, I’m not gonna lie, I really enjoy jalapeño popcorn, but my wife and I went to Ocean Prime for our anniversary a few years ago and they didn’t have any bread to bring out, ?so our server brought us some truffle popcorn from the bar. That stuff is like crack, so now, every time we go there we ask for truffle popcorn as a starter, and then take a box home for a snack the next day.

?I’d also like to point out that when I was a scout leader, I would regularly bring Jiffy Pop ?popcorn to outings and make it over the fire. Youngsters had never seen it even though it was a staple when I was a kid back in the 70s and 80s. It’s generally still available at many stores if you look for it and I know you can get it on Amazon as well. It can be a lot of fun if you’ve got a backyard fire pit, or by just making it on the oven top. ?

Jalapeño popcorn is usually made in an industrial popcorn popper like you’ll find at a carnival or a movie theater. Unfortunately, most of us don’t have one of those consequently, I’m going to hit up my readership and solicit jalapeño popcorn recipes.

?Since there are a lot of great seasonings for popcorn out there, and it’s the holiday season, so you’ll have plenty of people coming over, or you’ll be visiting friends and family, popcorn is a great snack to share. My forehead just broke out in a sweat thinking about a nice batch of jalapeño popcorn. ?
