Popcorn is perfect treat
for your next gathering
Family Features
Make your next friendly gathering a popping success with desserts
and snacks made from a wholesome
simple grain. Not only does popcorn
bring out the kid in everyone, it’s a
naturally healthy treat you can feel
good about serving your guests. And,
because it’s naturally low in fat and
calories, non-GMO and gluten free,
you can rest assured that party-goers
will keep popping back by for one
more guilt-free bite.
What’s more, freshly popped corn
makes it easy to tickle all your guests’
taste bud cravings. Salty, spicy, sweet the options are nearly endless. Serve it
up with flavors already mixed in, or let
guests mix and match their own favorite toppings to create unique tastes of
popcorn perfection.
These recipes make it easy to prepare crowd-pleasers for all ages ahead
of time so you can focus on the fun.
