How To Store

If there are left over’s after finishing that final episode of The Mandolorian (is it just me or is “The Child” literally the cutest Star Wars character ever?), you can just pour what’s left of the mix into a sealable bag and keep on the counter at room temperature for a few days. The popcorn will probably begin to go stale after about day 3 so, keep this in mind!
