Servings: about 5 cups

Four nosh-worthy flavors make for an easy and addictive snack. You may have to play with the ratio of maple to popcorn to get it to the level of sweetness you prefer. This version is light on the maple but if you want to amp it up simply add more and a little extra butter and then leave the popcorn in the oven longer so it dries out gets crunchy-sticky.
