- Prepare the Sweet Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the powdered milk, sugar, and salt together. This will be the sweet coating for your popcorn.
- Combine: Once the popcorn is ready, pour it into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat. Then, sprinkle the powdered milk mixture over the popcorn, tossing again until evenly coated.
- Cool and Crunch: Spread the coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it cool for a few minutes to allow it to become crunchy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, you can add optional toppings like chocolate drizzle or sprinkles. Serve in a big bowl and enjoy this sweet, crunchy treat!
