Stovetop Kettle Corn

Popcorn popped in oil with sugar stirred in at the moment the kernels go, so it caramelizes into a thin sweet-salty shell instead of scorching in the pot.

Masala Peanuts

Raw peanuts jacketed in a spiced chickpea-flour batter and fried until the coating shatters. A standard Indian tea-time snack that stays crisp for a week.

Dabo Kolo Spiced Crunchy Bites

Ethiopian snack of stiff berbere-spiced dough rolled into thin ropes, cut into pellets and baked dry until hard and crunchy. Keeps for weeks in a sealed jar.

Chile Lime Pepitas

Hulled pumpkin seeds toasted in a skillet until they puff and pop, then tossed off the heat with lime juice, ancho chile and salt so the seasoning dries onto them.
