Hurricane Popcorn

Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme is Seasonal Finds!

I’m kinda skipping out on this week’s theme in favor of one of my favorite snacks…popcorn! :]! I also have an awesome giveaway so make sure you enter if you want your own popcorn maker + butter-flavored coconut oil. (I’m taking part in a Barleans blogger challenge and received free products for this review.)

Have you ever had hurricane popcorn? It’s a popular Hawaiian snack that’s super super addictive and delicious (especially if you like savory)! It first originated from a pushcart in Kaneohe and got so popular that they started packaging em’ and even making flavor packets so people could make their own at home/sneak em’ into movie theaters!

I decided to try my hand at making my own, and as I only ever use coconut oil to make my popcorn, what better type to use for this than Barleans’ butter-flavored coconut oil? It’s certified organic, vegan, with no dairy/gluten/soy/cholesterol and can be used in a 1:1 ratio substitution for butter in baking, cooking, and frying under 375. :]! I’ve used it in the past to make cookies and also to make regular butter popcorn and results have been awesome. :D

I was also sent a Lekue Popcorn Maker! It’s super easy to use–just add popcorn kernels and heat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, then add whatever ingredients you want and there you go! It’s also collapsible (yay for space-saving contraptions)!
