Popping Corn/Popcorn Toppings

Hi All,
UK user here. I just bought myself a bag of popping corn kernels from Holland & Barrett as I have read a few posts where people mention this as a replacement snack for the bad stuff. However all the posts I have seen where people mention their toppings/seasonings of choice all seem to be non-UK users so most stuff mentioned isn't available here.
So.....would any UK'ers be kind enough to share what they season their popcorn with? I like savoury and sweet so all suggestions welcome :-)
Thanks in advance!

Paprika

cocoa powder
Schwartz salad seasonings
Curry powder
Tesco do a couple of coffee/ hot chocolate shaker things in spiced flavour and chocolate I think that are around 4 cals per teaspoon
I am going to put in an order with americansweets.co.uk though as they do a load of the popcorn seasonings there.0 -
I brought some 1 cal butter spray oil from Tesco and spray my popcorn with that then add some mixed spice or some dried Parmesan. Even my fussy kids eat it0

Thanks you guys! I have spray sunflower oil, didn't know you could get spray butter. Is it a Flora one or something like that?
I am going to give the salad seasonings a go!
I heard about this nutritional yeast which apparantly tastes cheesy I'm going to go back to H&B and see if they sell it there :-)0 -
Yeast just makes me think marmite :sick:0

Nice!
As I don't have a microwave, assume I just stick in a pan with a lid or do I need some butter/low cal spray in there? Or do I do that once it's popped?0 -
You will need a little oil in the pan to pop it. I good heavy bottom pan works best.0

Nutritional yeast is an amazing popcorn topper...has sort of a cheesy flavour, yum.0

Used to quite enjoy Vegetable Supreme on top of popcorn (as well as on vegetables, fish, and cottage cheese) but they discontinued it a few years ago, replacing it with something called "Perfect Pinch-Vegetable" that is not at all the same product.0

You don't need oil, stick it in a paper bag, fold the top down a few times, stick in microwave and cook until popping slows right down to one every few seconds.0
