Chinese Five-Spice Kettle Corn – created by Katie Lee

Katie says, “I eat popcorn almost every night and I like to experiment with different flavors. I make this Chinese Five-Spice Kettle Corn to enjoy with cocktails and also package it up in takeout boxes for a party favor for my guests.”

3/4 cup popcorn

1/4 cup canola oil

3 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons Chinese 5 Spice powder

2 teaspoons salt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

In a pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat, combine popcorn, oil, sugar, 5 Spice powder, and salt. Shake constantly. When popcorn begins to pop, lower heat to medium-low. Continue to shake until popping begins to slow and transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with melted butter.
