Designer Popcorn

[alkapal]

I want to make some designer popcorn. Maybe "Turtle Corn" with components of the candy caramel, chocolate and nut "turtles". Other flavor cominations you've tried and loved? Know any special tricks, tips, techniques?

I am just too cheap to buy the expensive designer popcorns sold online or in gourmet stores. I also know enough that mine will taste better and fresher! Especially with your help.

Allez POPCORN!

in fact, this one looks like it could be modified to be like "pecan Pie" popcorn clusters.

that site also has a savory recipe for lemony dill popcorn. interesting.

looks like alkapal will have to go it alone on the popcorn front ;(
