    Found in top ten of popcorn in Better Homes and Garden.
    Popcorn, turkey pepperoni and pizza seasoning.
    Popcorn, Wasabi Peas, Seasoned Rice Crackers and a drizzle of low sodium teriakyi sauce.
    Popcorn, corn chips, chipotle chili powder and a squeeze of lime.
    Popcorn, yogurt covered raisins, dried fruit and curry powder.
    Popcorn, graham cereal, mini marshmallows, and cocoa.

    I like the kernels toppers, they're great to use even without oil or butter they stay pretty well. I love splenda and cinnamon when I'm craving something sweet and salty. Salt and pepper with a little bit of oil from a mister goes a long way. I am definitely going to try taco seasoning, can't believe I didn't think of that!

    Did you see the movie "Whiplash"? Early in the movie, the dad of the main character dumps an entire box of Raisinets into the buttered movie theater popcorn.

    Edited to add: It was definitely not low calorie, but it was intriguing.

    Here's a recipe for Dorito-flavored seasoning that's healthy:

    5 Tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1 tsp onion powder
    1/2 tsp sea salt
    1/4 tsp ground black pepper.

    Mix together and sprinkle on top of popcorn. Each tbsp of nutritional yeast is about 20 calories and it's what gives this mix the cheesy, Dorito flavor. This recipe is enough for 5 servings.

    I use a spicy seasoning I bought at a hot sauce festival, it's called St. Lucifer's. Don't know if you can buy it many places but it rocks.

    Oh, I saw a youtube video where someone crumbled up some doritos in a pepper grinder and made seasoning out of it :wink:

    I like it better with Goobers than raisinets.

    These all sound great! I think I'll try the curry and yogurt raisins first, then the kernels seasonings if I can find them.

    Brilliant! Falls under the heading "why didn't I think of that?".

    There's a book on Amazon called "30 Perfect Popcorn Recipes". It's also available for the Kindle. I have the book - the topping combinations are yummy, but not always diet-friendly. I don't have time right now, but I think I'll have time tomorrow to go through it, and just post here any of the good ones.

    I also use a butter flavored cooking spray helps to keep the toppings on. :)
