Popcorn with Truffle Salt

I just couldn't wait to share my recipe for Truffled Popcorn that many of you tried at the last First Friday - Easy Spring Appetizers. And for those of you who expressed an interest in obtaining that magic seasoning of the Gods, Truffle Salt, I'm including a link to Amazon.com - cuz I just can't find it locally.

Truffled Popcorn is easy, fancy and delicious. Sometimes I use it as an appetizer (like for the Academy Awards) and sometimes I use it as a dessert (last night when I was craving Salty/Crunchy).

If you are doing it as an appetizer, I like to serve it in Martini glasses (everything is prettier in Martini Glasses). Or in the little take out boxes you can get at the craft store.

Yes, sometimes Mrs. Vino cheats and uses microwave popcorn (it was EASY appetizers after all). Feel free to pop yours the old fashioned way. ENJOY.

Truffled Popcorn (How Easy is This)
1 bag butter flavored microwave popcorn
3T truffle oil (white or black)
½ t. truffle salt or to taste (but start with 1/2 t., it's strong)
Additional melted butter - if desired

Pop popcorn. While it is warm, drizzle with additional melted butter, truffle oil and truffle salt. Shake the bag well to incorporate. Put in a pretty bowl or fancy glasses to serve. Great with crisp white wines or sparkling wines.
