Muddy Buddy Popcorn Recipe
It’s so much fun to take a staple snack like popcorn and turn it into something new and delicious. I love adding the sweet factor to popcorn recipes as well.

You can have this as a fun dessert for after-dinner or even a simple dessert option to send with the kids in their school lunch! Have fun with the options!
Can I use microwave popcorn for this recipe?
I prefer to pop popcorn with the air popper for this recipe, so I don’t have any extra flavors, but you can use whatever you would like.
If you do use microwave popcorn, use an option that doesn’t have any type of flavoring. There are some that you can purchase that are plain or lightly salted that would be a delicious addition and option.

How do I store leftover popcorn?
Popcorn can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature, but it is important to remove any excess moisture to prevent fogginess.
A paper bag or airtight plastic container is an excellent choice for storing popcorn. It is also essential to keep the container or bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. This will help to preserve the popcorn and keep it fresh for 2-3 days.
