How to Store Leftovers
If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely, given how irresistible these are), store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll remain fresh and crunchy for up to three days. Avoid refrigerating, as this can introduce moisture and make the popcorn soggy.
Food and Drink Pairings
- Beverages: Pair with tonic water-based mocktails or cocktails to complement the glow theme.
- Additional Snacks: Serve alongside other finger foods like glow-in-the-dark jello shots or neon-colored candies for a cohesive snack table.

A2: Yes, a blacklight is necessary to activate and see the glowing effect of the popcorn.
Q3: Can I make this recipe without a candy thermometer?
