Dill Pickle Popcorn is an easy snack sure to please any pickle lover. No fake flavors or colors here. This popcorn is the real dill. Seasoned with dill weed and other spices, plus a secret ingredient that really makes this popcorn shine.
Dill pickles, you either love them to the point of mild obsession or you hate them. Am I right? I fall on the love side of the pickle spectrum. But I think there’s something weird that happens when you dive into dill pickle flavored foods. More often than not you’ll end up with a weird electric green food so sour your mouth puckers. This dill pickle popcorn isn’t like that.
My take on Dill Pickle Popcorn tastes fresher and lighter with a seasoning blend of herbs and spices that’s topped off with a secret ingredient that really ties it all together, a drizzle of pickle juice instead of butter!

Can I use microwave popcorn to make this?
Yes, this recipe can be made with microwave popcorn. However, I do want to highlight that depending on the brand and variety of microwave popcorn you use it can really change the flavor of the finished product. Specifically how salty your popcorn is!
