Remember the stove top Jiffy Pop in the little aluminum pan with the foil top that expanded as the steam from the popping corn began to rise? Do they even make that anymore? I have very fond memories of popcorn. Popcorn was Saturday night, mom and dad out for the evening, staying up late. Something the baby sitter could do to entertain us. It was like the very first Swanson TV dinners - but that's another story. Today I crave popcorn as my happy hour snack at least weekly. I think I have myself convinced it's not a fattening as cheese and crackers. Who knows and who cares about calories when it comes to happy hour. Am I right?
Here's how I spruce up that age old childhood favorite for a quick happy hour treat. I drizzle lite, no fake butter microwave popcorn with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with some fabulous Italian Black Truffle Sea Salt (found at Pro Kitchen Gear in Greenville Delaware,
