Popcorn may just be the perfect snack food, but jalapeno popcorn is even better. Add some jalapenos, cayenne, and seasoned salt and you might have yourself the perfect spicy morsel. I would love to take all the credit for this creation, but I have to give credit to my boyfriends Air Force unit on this one. He’s an Airman and at their base they have a constant flow of this delicious jalapeno popcorn freshly being popped. Upon my first visit, my nostrils were assaulted by the smell of pickled jalapenos, and I could not have been happier. This recipe serves as the perfect go to whenever you need something salty with a little kick; nothing more American than that!

Nikki’s Notes:
- Dry off the jalapenos with paper towel before placing them in the hot oil. Dry jalapenos will become much more crispy!
- Keep the vent fan on or crack a window when making this popcorn! Your eyes and nostrils will feel the heat on this one!
