Popcorn coated in rich butter and tossed with white cheese popcorn seasoning? Yes, please!

Ingredients in White Cheddar Popcorn

These ingredients are easily sourced from pretty much any store!

• Popcorn: We love Pop Secret Homestyle Butter Popcorn. Feel free to substitute if desired.
• Butter: All this rich butter adds so much flavor and goodness.
• White Cheddar Powder: It’s cheese powder you don’t have to grate yourself! Best of all worlds!

How to Make White Cheddar Popcorn

Making white cheddar popcorn is so simple!

• Pop Popcorn: Each microwave is going to require different times. Ours always takes an extra 30 seconds. 
• Remove Seeds: This keeps the seeds from soaking up all your yummy butter and flavor.
• Toss: Now add that butter and powder.
• GOBBLE!: Self explanatory but YUM!!!

Pro Tip: I like to use two bowls. It’s easier to separate the seeds from the popcorn if you have two bowls.

 

 

Is White Cheddar Popcorn Healthy?

The popcorn itself is a whole grain, high fiber snack. Making it a super healthy choice. The butter also comes with many benefits.

You see, our bodies need fat in order to function properly. And without healthy fats, they just don’t.

Pure butter is a wonderful choice for healthy fat. Now, you probably shouldn’t eat white cheddar popcorn for every meal. But you shouldn’t eat anything for every meal.

Don’t be afraid of eating it. Live your life. Enjoy it. A little popcorn is a good thing.

Pro Tip: If I can’t talk you into the butter you can always spritz with a little oil to help the seasoning stick to the popcorn.

Can Dogs Eat White Cheddar Popcorn?

Unfortunately, dogs shouldn’t eat white cheddar popcorn. Salt and lactose can both be harmful to dogs and many are intolerant.

Since popcorn usually contains butter or salt or both, it’s best to keep your dogs away from popcorn.

 

 

Can Cats Eat White Cheddar Popcorn?

No, cat’s shouldn’t eat white cheddar popcorn either.

First the salt. Cats just can’t process that much salt. They aren’t meant to. 

Then the fat. All the fat can actually make your cat MORE hungry, not less.

Which can lead to overeating and all sorts of problems. Keep your cats out of the popcorn.

Is White Cheddar Popcorn Gluten Free?

Popcorn, cheddar cheese, and butter are all naturally gluten free! That means that white cheddar popcorn is a gluten free snack.

However, you will want to check your powder label. While white cheddar contains no gluten, occasionally a manufacturer will add ingredients that do contain gluten.

Always read your labels if you need to keep your snacks and meals gluten free.

 

 

Can You Eat White Cheddar Popcorn While Pregnant?

Yes, it is completely safe to eat white cheddar popcorn while pregnant.

All of the ingredients in the popcorn are pasteurized and processed in a way to prevent any bacteria growth.

In addition, all the fats and fiber are necessary to help a growing baby. So eat that cheddar popcorn and keep rocking it mama!

Can You Use Popcorn Kernels for White Cheddar Popcorn?

Yes! You all know me. I like my foods to be quick and easy. Popcorn conveniently comes in quick and easy microwavable packages.

However, if you want to do the extra work of popping the kernels on the stove, you do you. If you find the popcorn to be lacking in flavor, just add a little more butter and seasoning.

However, I think it should work just fine popping your own kernels.

Is White Cheddar Popcorn Keto Friendly?

Popcorn is actually pretty high in carbs and can quickly knock someone off the keto diet.

While popcorn is healthy for anyone not trying to stay in ketosis, it’s best avoided if you are. Chow down instead on some Air Fryer Asparagus. Also coated in butter and salt but no carbs.

 

 

How Long Does Popcorn Last?

White cheddar popcorn will stay good in an airtight container for about a week. Since it is already buttered and seasoned, you’ll be sure you want to eat it up before it goes bad.

Pro Tip: Always check all food before you eat it for signs of mold or bad smells.
