Ingredients

Directions

  1. Popcorn can be prepared using your preferred method (air-popped, stovetop, or microwave) and allowed to cool slightly so it is warm but not hot.
  2. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the lime juice, vanilla pudding mix, Sweet 'n Low sweetener, and rum extract.
  3. Whisk the mixture vigorously until the pudding mix and sweetener are fully dissolved and the liquid is smooth.
  4. Place the 8 cups of popcorn in a large mixing bowl or a clean pillowcase for easier tossing.
  5. Slowly drizzle the lime-rum mixture over the popcorn while tossing gently to ensure an even coating.
  6. If the mixture tastes too tart, sprinkle with a little extra powdered sugar or sweetener and toss again until balanced.
  7. Spread the coated popcorn out in a single layer on a baking sheet or large plate.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 1 hour to set the coating and enhance the flavor.
  9. Remove from the freezer and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days.
