I love making popcorn at home. Whether I'm getting ready to snuggle under some blanket and watch a movie, or am just in the mood for a late night snack- popcorn is my go-to favorite! Here's a great little gift idea of any popcorn lover you might know.
Pair little bags of dressed up popcorn kernels with disposable popcorn bags (or boxes) and flavored salts. I made three different flavor combinations.
Here are the simple recipes for each flavored salt: Salt and Pepper- If you can toast your peppercorns before grinding. If you cannot find whole peppercorns, don't worry! Regular is fine too. Combine 1/4 cup salt with 1 tablespoon ground pepper. Tex-Mex Salt- Combine 1/4 cup salt with a pinch of chili powder and zest from 1 lime. Rub the zest into the salt before storing, to really get the flavors to blend. Cinnamon Sugar- Combine 1/4 cup sugar with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. This is for when you are the mood for something a little more like Kettle Corn. :)
These cute kits make great gifts! We found the cute popcorn boxes and spice jars at Target. xo. emma + elsie

Cute gift! I live in New Mexico, so I think I'll do a mix of blue popping corn and regular to add some more color.

GREAT gift idea! I have thought about making my own granola and packaging that in Mason jars for gifts, but I really like this idea too! There are so many ways you could flavor popcorn.
