I posted yesterday about making popcorn for our healthy snack and showed you a picture of the item I’d like to recommend today. It’s a life changer for the popcorn world and it’s the only way that I make popcorn anymore (besides the fact that we don’t have a microwave here in Panama). Life as you know it will change if you purchase a Whirley Pop.

The other day my good friend @superinvisible was over and commented on my popcorn popper. I was using it to make popcorn for our celebration that I plan to post about tomorrow. She thought it was the coolest popcorn popper ever and I have to agree. It is so cool, I’m going to write a post about it and convince you that you also need one.

The Whirley Pop is so easy to use, even my kids do it. You just put in our ingredients, put it on the stove and spin the handle. You start to hear the popcorn pop and you keep going until the pops are a few seconds apart. When you pour out the popcorn, you notice that almost all (if not all) of the kernels have popped! It’s amazing and it works great!

When I ordered my Whirley Pop, it came with some premade packets for making movie flavor popcorn (let’s just say tons of salt and butter flavoring but SUPER tasty) and kettle corn (tons of sugar but YUMMY)! They use coconut oil in the packets, but I just use whatever I have which is usually olive oil. The premade packs are great, but you can just do your own. My Whirley Pop also came with a recipe book, or you can check online (http://whirleypopshop.com/recipepage.html). I never should have looked because now I’m going to have to try some of them out! Yum!

We love our Whirley Pop and I even consider buying one for everyone I know for Christmas every year! Maybe this will be the year! You can buy one from their website and I have also seen them on amazon.

These really are the best and we love making popcorn in it. They make a great gift (54 days to Christmas) and are priced right around $30 for the original model plus the popcorn packets. Check it out and you’ll be glad you did!
