Favorite popcorn recipe/ topping?

I just started experimenting with the "whirly pop" throwing in all kinds of different ingredients...what's your favorite kind of popcorn?

    melt together molasses and stout 3:2 proportion, then mix in brown sugar, white sugar in equal parts, then ginger and cinnamon (3:1), and nutmeg and cloves (dashes)... let cool and toss with popcorn

    mix in pretzels, peanuts, and mini m&m's or carob chips

    throw buttered popcorn over vanilla ice cream

    drizzle with hazelnut oil, then stir in dried bing cherries, white chocolate chips, and optionally chopped hazelnuts

    or go simple. curry.

      Frank's Red Hot Sauce with a little melted butter and just a little salt tossed over the already moistened popcorn. Adam

          I like brown butter, parm and black pepper. More of a traditionalist I guess. Also a little honey butter and grated gruyere is also very good.

              happy to help. for future reference, the "search" function is your friend - you'll figure it out eventually ;)

                i also google with "chow" in the search query. faster than the chow's search, and more comprehensive, often!

                here is an example of a thread i started: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/450633

                i found it by googling "chow alkapal popcorn".

            My favorite is browned butter, chopped rosemary, a bit of lemon zest, and grated parm.
