Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 10 cups Popped popcorn
  • 1/4 cup Butter, melted
  • 1 envelope, approximately 1 ounce Ranch salad-dressing mix

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Place the popped popcorn in a large bowl and remove any unpopped kernels. Drizzle the melted butter gradually over the warm popcorn while tossing gently.
  2. Sprinkle the ranch salad-dressing mix evenly over the buttered popcorn. Continue tossing until every piece is lightly coated.
  3. Taste the popcorn before adding any extra salt because ranch seasoning packets vary in saltiness. Serve immediately while the popcorn is warm and crisp.

Notes

For the best coating, toss the popcorn while it is still warm and drizzle the butter gradually instead of pouring it in one spot. If popping kernels from scratch, allow an additional 5–10 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container, although the texture is best shortly after preparation.
