Raspberry Lemonade Popcorn – Sugar-Free, THM E, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free

I had surgery the end of November and I did something I absolutely do not recommend if you are dieting and I ordered a Prime Surprise Sweets box from Amazon. I was feeling a little sorry for myself needing the surgery and wanted to try it out. It came full of delicious sugary fattening sweets. My favorite sugary fattening sweet of all of them was the Lemon Raspberry Layer Cake Popcorn by Maddy & Maize. It was one of the best things I have ever eaten. I *needed* to make myself a healthy version.

When I was playing around with popcorn recipes a few weeks ago I realized how I could adapt my Salted Caramel Popcorn to have the flavor of Raspberry Lemonade. The first time I tried it with lemon extract it was a bit bitter. I’m not sure if it was the lemon extract I used or what but when I redid it with fresh lemon zest the flavor was perfect.

My popcorn recipes are as simple as melting some sweetener, adding flavoring, and pouring it over popped popcorn. I’m having a lot of fun experimenting with different flavors and I encourage you to do the same!

I purchased my freeze-dried raspberries at Target. If you can’t find freeze-dried raspberries near you this would also work with freeze-dried strawberries and I’ve even seen those in Dollar Tree.
