Better Buttery Flavacol Theater Popcorn Seasoning Salt

Until recently, I've never been a big popcorn fan. Since getting my home theater the way I liked it I decided I wanted to add to the movie watching experience by adding authentic movie theater popcorn. After much research I bought the Whirly Pop, some coconut oil, some Flavacol popcorn salt, and some buttery topping from Wabash farms. Wow! I couldn't believe how good it was.When I saw the "Better Buttery" flavor from Flavacol I thought that more butter flavor would be even better. It is. I can now not live without this stuff. As good as the regular Flavacol was this stuff is as twice as addictive.It took several tries to get it just right. Here's how I make mine:3 Tb coconut oil1 heaping tsp Better Buttery Flavacol salt1/2 cup popcorn kernelsButtery Topping from Wabash, to tastePut ALL ingredients EXCEPT buttery topping in the Whirly Pop on LOW to MEDIUM heat and crank the handle slowly. Once popping slows down, take the Whirly Pop off the heat and open the lid on top to vent before pouring into a big bowl. Be careful, steam will be coming out and it's HOT.Since the Buttery Topping is a little thick at room temperature I make sure I let the bottle sit in a bowl of hot water while popping the corn. This way, the topping flows nice when pouring. What I do is pour a little popcorn from the popper into the big bowl and add a few dashes of buttery topping. I do this alternately to get the topping mixed in evenly.That is how you do popcorn at home. I've tried many different variations but this, for me, yields amazingly addictive results. I will not watch a movie without my popcorn anymore. The entire family goes nuts over it!

Following the advice of another reviewer, we made the popcorn in our Elite tabletop popcorn maker (EPM-450) using coconut oil, flavacol, and wabash valley farms buttery topping. The secret is finding just the right amount of flavacol, and you will have "movie theater" popcorn! We found that using the recommended 3/4 tsp per 1/2 cup kernels made it too salty and inedible for some people. Using just under 1/2 tsp was perfect. Either adding the buttery topping, or just letting it sit in the machine for 10-15 minutes, also somehow added to the flavor. I won't make it without the flavacol though!

Makes perfect movie-theatre tasting popcorn, bright yellow and flavorful. A little goes a long way, and this may last for my lifetime, and beyond.

We bought the regular flavacol and I thought the salt/butter flavor ratio was a bit too skewed toward the salt so we decided to try this. Much better. In my opinion there is a better balance of salt and butter flavor. This will be our go to product from now on.

In the beginning Just Poppin was the only product I used for popping our corn. Even from the beginning I was not overly thrilled with the cost of shipping, but the product was excellent. This last time when I was running short I read different reviews on the seasoning salts from other companies and found a review that stated there was a different brand which contained the exact same ingredients as the one I was using, plus you received a lot more product for the money. Being as I am a firm believer of reading reviews and trusting others I ordered the other brand. What a mistake! Even though the ingredients seemed the same for some reason the taste was quite different. I used it a few times and decided it was time to return to my all time favorite brand Just Poppin. Even though I still had 99% of the new brand left , it is headed to someone else's house for their use not mine. This last order actually was two bags which should last me, oh, we'll say five years, but fact is I never want to run out of this product. It is the best I have ever tasted, equal with theater popcorn. One other thing. The vendor for this company is like no one we have dealt with. Very customer friendly. Some of a rarity in todays society.

Love this stuff. It has a touch of sweet but mostly salty with nice butter flavor. It makes popcorn taste like real movie theater popcorn. I suggest using butter flav. coconut oil to really make it true theater popcorn. The two together...YUM!!!!

It’s slightly yellow salt. I did not detect any butter like flavor at all. Very disappointed. If only my local store still carried Johnny’s.

Disappointing. Did not find that "theatre" flavoring many had raved about. Pretty ordinary flavoring in my opinion, plus it makes a mess of the popper if you add it to the oil.
