Oscar worthy Popcorn!

The 86th Academy Awards 2014 are this coming Sunday evening.  Movie stars will walk the Red Carpet in Hollywood for the chance to win an Oscar for their role in a motion picture.  I’ve always loved watching the awards, not just to see what stars and motion pictures win in their category, but to see my favorite movie stars and what they’re wearing.  Lets face it, they are all dressed to the 9s and draped in jewels from Harry Winston to those not so famous jewelers and designers.

As I snuggle up on the sofa I often find myself wanting to munch on something with all the excitement!  If you’re like me, then I’ve got a special treat to share with you – Truffled Popcorn with All Natural Butter Flavored Olive Oil.  This popcorn will win an Oscar at your party!  The flavor is mellow with the hint of butter, (yet, it’s heart healthy olive oil) and drizzled with the earthy taste of Truffle Salt. It’s addicting!

Last night I surprised my family with a bowl to get their impression.  I had it ready prior to dinner and I practically had to yank it away so they’d eat the meal I prepared.  This huge bowl didn’t have a kernel of corn left in it, as they devoured the rest after we’d finished our meal.

Whether you’ll be snuggled up on your sofa, in bed, or having an Oscar Party, you owe it to yourself to make this OSCAR WORTHY POPCORN!

I have a Whirley Pop that I used to pop my popcorn, which you can also find on Amazon.  However, you can simply place your popcorn in a paper bag, seal the bag, then microwave, air pop it, or whatever you prefer.

There are so many wonderful dishes I’ve served in the past on Oscar night, but nothing beats the simplicity of this gourmet popcorn.  If you’re a fan of Truffles please give this a try, and let me know what you think.

Here’s the recipe:
