Whether you’re watching a movie or catching the game, popcorn and chips are a go-to snack that makes every occasion much more enjoyable. But when it comes to these snacks, they can be boring. With these unique flavor combinations that can be found in your pantry, you can make your favorite snacks much more exciting.

Spices and Herbs

Spices and dried herbs like cayenne, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, coriander, oregano, and rosemary will build a new flavor profile on your salty treats.

Dairy

To add a bit of richness and tang to your snacks, add powdered butter, cheddar cheese, goat cheese, and buttermilk to your snacks. If you’re trying to stay clear of cheese or are vegan, top your snacks off with nutritional yeast to get a cheesy taste without adding dairy.

Vegetables

Vegetable powders like spinach, beet, carrot, tomato, and mushroom add color and flavor to your snacks.

Acid

For a bit of a kick, add vinegar powder, citrus juice powder, or citric acid to your popcorn and chips.

Sweet

Do you love puppy chow? Then you have to try cocoa, powdered sugar, coconut flakes, freeze-dried fruits, or peanut butter powder on your salty snacks. You’ll enjoy the sweet and salty combination.
