Popcorn is a great snack that we love to eat plain and simple, but it can also be fun to jazz things up and create a bold and tasty snack. Popcorn balls are the perfect way to do that and are so fun because the herbs and spices can be easily changed to satisfy any craving. These coconut curry popcorn balls hit almost all the flavor profiles with a little sweetness, saltiness, some heat and complexity from the curry.
