Storage & Assembly Notes

Make-Ahead Tips: You can pop the popcorn a day in advance to save time. Store it in an airtight container so it stays crisp.

 

Storage: These are best served the day they are made, but they can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in cellophane for up to 3 days.

 

Party Favors: If making these for a party, wrap them in clear treat bags with a ribbon as soon as they are fully set to keep them fresh.
