Parmesan and Black Pepper Popcorn
Popcorn is the simplest of snacks, but it reaches a new level of appeal when liberally sprinkled with cheese. Here, salty Parmesan meets earthy black pepper and mingles with a decadent combination of olive oil and butter to deliver maximum flavor. Serve as a fun appetizer at a cocktail party.
