This Truffled Popcorn Recipe Is From How Easy Is That Cookbook by Barefoot Contessa.

Ingredients Needed:

• 1 package microwave popcorn, such as Newman’s Own Natural
• 2 oz white truffle butter
• 1 tsp kosher salt

How To Make Truffled Popcorn?

1. Prepare the popcorn: Follow the package instructions to microwave the popcorn.
2. Melt the truffle butter: While the popcorn is cooking, heat the truffle butter in a small pot over low heat until just melted.
3. Combine and serve: Transfer the cooked popcorn to a large bowl. Drizzle the melted truffle butter over the popcorn, add the kosher salt, and toss everything together until well coated. Serve warm.

Recipe Tips:

• Use High-Quality Truffle Butter: For the best flavor, choose a high-quality white truffle butter. Cheaper versions might lack the rich truffle aroma that makes this recipe special.
• Don’t Overcook the Popcorn: Follow the microwave instructions carefully. Overcooked popcorn becomes tough and dry, making it harder to coat with the butter evenly.
• Melt Butter on Low Heat: Truffle butter is delicate, so melt it on low heat to avoid burning. This keeps the truffle flavor intact and prevents a bitter taste.
• Toss the Popcorn Gently: When adding the melted truffle butter and salt, toss the popcorn gently to avoid breaking the kernels. This helps the butter coat evenly without crushing the popcorn.
• Serve Immediately for Maximum Crispiness: Truffled popcorn tastes best when it’s fresh and warm. Serve it right after tossing to keep the popcorn crispy and aromatic.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover truffled popcorn cool until it reaches room temperature. Once cooled, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. The popcorn can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature to keep its texture.
