Ingredients
Scale
Bacon Parmesan Popcorn Salt
- 1 cup iodized salt
- ¼ cup cooked bacon crumbles
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Buffalo Ranch Popcorn Salt
- 1 cup kosher salt
- 2 tbsp Buffalo sauce
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
Chocolate Wine Popcorn Salt
- 1 cup sea salt
- 750 ml chocolate wine (1 bottle, such as ChocoVine brand)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bacon Parmesan Salt: In a mixing bowl, combine the iodized salt, cooked bacon crumbles, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake at a low temperature to dry and meld the flavors, being careful not to burn the bacon pieces.
- Make the Buffalo Ranch Salt: Mix kosher salt with Buffalo sauce and ranch seasoning in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Spread the mixture thinly on a baking tray and dry it in the oven at low heat to infuse the salt with Buffalo ranch flavor and evaporate excess moisture.
- Create the Chocolate Wine Salt: Pour the chocolate wine over the sea salt in a shallow dish. Let the mixture absorb the liquid and then gently spread it out on a baking sheet. Allow it to dry slowly in the oven at a low temperature until the salt is infused with the chocolate wine essence and dry to touch.
- Use and Store: Once all the salts are dry and flavorful, cool completely and transfer to airtight containers for storage. Use these flavored salts to season your popcorn just before serving for a delicious and unique snack experience.
Notes
- Dry the flavored salts at a low temperature (around 200°F or 93°C) to avoid burning and to preserve flavors.
- Ensure the bacon crumbles are cooked and dried well before mixing to prevent sogginess.
- The chocolate wine salt will take longer to dry because of the liquid; patience is key to achieve the best texture.
- Store flavored salts in airtight containers away from moisture to maintain freshness.
- Adjust the seasoning amounts to your taste preference when using the salts on popcorn.
