MAKES 8 SERVINGS | PREP TIME: 10 MINS
Hey movie fans! For your consideration, may I recommend my Spiced Cocoa Popcorn for your viewing pleasure? It has sweet, salty, spicy and even tangy notes–basically hitting you in all the taste buds. Plus, it’s still super healthy, made with very little sugar and just enough salt to be satisfying. Make a batch for the Golden Globes, the Academy Awards or just a Netflix & Chill Tuesday.
