Frequently Asked Questions

School nut-free?

Use seeds instead of nuts and check every candy package for shared-equipment warnings.

Keep popcorn crisp?

Assemble close to serving; humidity softens popcorn.

Less candy version?

Boost pretzels, seeds, and dried fruit; use a smaller candy scoop.

Make ahead?

Up to 1 week airtight if popcorn stays dry.
