Boy, this Sriracha-lime popcorn is some mighty good popcorn. Lime, basil and Sriracha really go great together. I never thought about those flavors in popcorn. I do now. And I taste it in my dreams too. Citrus-flavored popcorn is great by itself. It’s kind of unexpected. Basil, maybe not so different. Sriracha? In popcorn? What kind of sorcery is that? Well, delicious sorcery is what it is!

Sriracha-Lime Popcorn

Don’t Get Soggy With It

Make a double batch of Sriracha-lime popcorn. And pop it using a Stir Crazy Popcorn maker. This stuff doesn’t last! Now, if you’re like me and love Sriracha, you have to resist the temptation to add more to the spice mixture. More is usually better, but more in this case will mean soggy popcorn. No one wants a bowl of soggy sadness.

Also try my white chocolate Frito popcorn. It’s definitely different.
