Are you ready for some football?!

With Super Bowl fast approaching, will you be hosting a party or attending one? Food and snacks are one of the greatest things about watching the big game (aside from the commercials). What will you be making this year? Here's a few easy ideas to get things rolling.

Popcorn is probably the easiest snack to serve to any guest. You can serve traditional butter popcorn or even spice things up a bit. Glaze Pop flavors and Color Pop Salt are a great way to cheer on your team with a color theme. You can also use Savory Shake on flavors. With Savory Shakes, it's the perfect alternative to serving potato chips.

Who doesn't love going to the stadium and ordering a big tray of nachos? Whip up a large batch for guests to enjoy. Or even better, make tacos in a bag! El Nacho Grande portion pak Chips and cheese are great for this idea. Simply open the bag of chips. pour in the nacho cheese, taco seasoned meat, salsa, sour cream, and jalapenos. A walking taco that won't dirty your hands or your clothes!

Another great snack that is a food staple is soft pretzels. With this, you can also incorporate the Shavory Shakes flavors and the El Nacho Grande portion pak cheese cups. For the Savory Shakes, simply sprinkle on one of the many flavors (Sour Cream & Chive, Jalapeno, Salt & Vinegar, Ranch, BBQ, Cheddar, or White Cheddar). Want to keep it more traditional? Serve your guests a pretzel with their own side of cheese sauce for dipping.

The options are endless. These snacks will not only fill your guests up, they will make them feel like they're at the game. No matter who you're cheering for, food always brings people together.

Corn/Oil/Salt Portion Pak Kits with Coconut Oil To Make Everyday Popping That Much Easier

          Everyone loves when something is convenient and easy. So why not have that when popping popcorn? Here at Popcorn Supply Company we sell a product called Naks Pak Portion Pak Kits. Try saying that five times fast! The kits are available in different sizes depending on the size of your kettle. The sizes that they are made in are 4 oz, 6oz, 8oz, and 12oz kits.

          The kits include the kernels, coaconut oil, and salt. The kernels are the traditional yellow kernels that pop up big and fluffy. They are also known as butterfly kernels because they have a wing like feature when they pop. In the side with the kernels there is also Flavacol. The Flavacol is a butter flavored salt that ads extra seasoning. Lastly, there is the coconut oil. This is the left side of the package. The oil is also infused with a butter flavoring that gives a deep rich taste. Many people hear coconut oil and think that it will taste like coconut. Don’t worry, I promise it tastes nothing like the fruit.

          When it comes to popping, these kits make life simple. Start off by turning your kettle heat and kettle motor on (there should be switches labeled at the top of your machine). Let the kettle warm up for a minute or two before adding the product. Cut the top of the left side of the packet that holds the oil. Squeeze the oil out into the kettle and let it melt for a few seconds. Once the oil is nice and melted, cut the other side of the package and dump the kernels and seasoning into the kettle. Don’t forget to close the lid to the kettle after you add the ingredients. Be sure to pay attention during the popping process so you don’t burn your corn. Rule of thumb: popcorn is ready to be dumped when you can count three seconds in between pops. Once your popcorn has popped all that’s left to do is eat it and enjoy!
