🧡Thanks to this technique video and product recommendations, we make this almost weekly for family movie night! You explained everything so thoroughly, including what to expect if we alter your technique and ingredients, which we don't. Also, we now freeze our popcorn kernels (we thaw before using, but I'm not sure if that's necessary). Thank you for such a well-presented, easy-to-follow video! 🧡 For those of you experiencing an "overly coconutty" taste, be sure you're using REFINED coconut oil. For the cheese sauce, we've also *successfully* used clarified butter/ghee instead of coconut oil. For those of you experiencing "chewy" popcorn (we've been there plenty of times), the problem is likely STEAM. Try not to let hot popcorn sit in an airtight container---allow the steam to vent. We recently got a stovetop popper, so have adapted the technique in this video to use it. We also make homemade Chicago MIX (your cheese popcorn technique + Glaze-Pop brand caramel popcorn) now. Just wanted to leave a review and say thank you! 🧡🧡🧡
Game changing recipe man!! I just watched your video, ran out to the store to buy margarine (because I never use the stuff) and I actually have been buying Anthony’s cheese for years so had it in the pantry. It turned out perfect! I’ve always tried buttering the corn and then sprinkling the Anthony’s on there. Always end up with a bunch of wasted cheese powder at the bottom of the bowl and never really happy with the results. God bless you for this recipe ! :) 🍿 🧀
I had been craving Garrett's popcorn for so long. The closest one is 3 hours away and it's expensive to have shipped since you have to order with the popcorn tin. I've made this recipe several times - use the Anthony's cheese powder as suggested in the video and it is SOOOOOOO good! Thanks for posting!
I tried it - made the pop corn with oil. There was not enough cheese so I made a stronger batch of cheese - it was better. I have made Carmel - Chocolate - Cracker Jack and kettle corn with the chocolate glaze which is my favorite. Your pop corn was chewy I hate chewy. I had four bags of the different flavors above so I made heavy oil and cheese and poured over it and into the oven. I love it - you get it all. Thanks for sharing. Next I will just make my Carmel with roasted peanuts - do the oven - and then pour the cheese on. Good Luck Everybody.
Made it in the microwave the way you did and it came out Fantastic. When I made mine in the pan with oil it was to chewy. Now I want to buy a microwave bowl like you have. Fantastic your the Man.
Thank you Mr. Dale, your video is exactly what i was looking for. Please keep poping out more recipes, i enjoy not only your style of cooking but also the way you explain. thank you.
Awesome! I experimented soooo many times trying to find that “Garrett’s” taste. Different powders and oils, and all were pretty much fails. The closest I came was canola oil and a commercial “sprinkle” powder, but it was much too salty. Thanks for this! I can save myself time and money now!!
WOW thank you for sharing this! Every since Orval Redenbacher‘s pour over cheddar, I’ve been looking for something similar. This is so good I could not find Tony’s cheddar do cheese , so I had to buy something else. This is so wonderful! I think I’m going to eat the entire batch❤
My sister has gone to Vegas twice since this pandemic and both times, including today (Labor Day), Garrett's was closed. She even sent me a pic not even an hour ago. I told her, thassokay. I'm gonna make my own Garrett's and call it Jarrett's, after my youngest son. So I came to TH-cam to see what direcrion to go in. Hence, I'm here. Thank You!I🍿🙂 ..now, off to Amazon I go!😁 I got a small unopened jar of coconut oil and some Orville already. I'll try it with my unsalted butter, first.
👍🏽👍🏽 I live in Chicago very familiar with Garrett’s you also have to keep it in the fridge if not stale it will be. They have a good one pecan Carmel corn mix that with the cheese, boy oh boy it’s good 😊
Thank you I subscribed. Funny today for the first time I bought coconut oil. And I have to do real butter. I leave in the microwave for about 30 seconds stop kind of let it cool down and then for however long I need to melt the rest.
I’m really excited to try this. I didn’t realize that the cheese popcorn I was craving was Chicago style. I have a couple of powdered cheddar here that I like but I will look into buying the one you have too! 🧀 🍿✨
Thanks for sharing this! I live in the Chicagoland area and I've been looking for this recipe for about 2 weeks now! I just bought the cheese you recommended from Amazon and I will make some this weekend. Thanks again for sharing!
@@sth5033 it came out ok. It was a bit more saltier than I thought it would be. The coconut oil I used had a taste that transferred to the popcorn. I'll have to make another attempt this weekend with a different oil. I will say that the powdered cheese comes in handy. It's definitely worth buying and trying to recreate the dish.
I just found your video and absolutely love your instructions. I do have a question, can I stick it in the oven to help it Harden some? I don't know what Chicago popcorn is like but I wanna make a cheddar popcorn that's not wet
Have you tried melting fresh cheddar cheese in the coconut oil rather than the dehydrated? I'm asking because I always have it in the fridge. I've never tried nor heard of Chicago style cheese popcorn and I'm anxious to try this.
I am gonna order this cheddar and follow your recipe! The closest garret I have is in Vegas and I have to stop there any chance I can get!!! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial!
Like he said, decades ago, before they sold it, you could seen them hand churn the cheese into the popcorn in giant metal drums. You always had to wait because it was made to order
I can't wait to try it. I was just at a art fair and asked why don't they do cheddar cheese popcorn as well as the kettle. I'm from Michigan I know what you mean about the melt in your mouth popcorn in chicago. I'm very excited thank you so much
Great input all around, thank you! By the way, does it not make the popcorn soggy since coconut oil or any oil at all when poured over the popped corn must contain a lot of moisture? Also, what other oils can we use instead of coconut oil, I feel a neutral tasting oil would be a better choice no?
I would think other oils would work, but I tried Coconut oil because that is what is used in movie theatre popcorn. Online suggests virgin, saying it is more like theatre popcrn, but I used regular. It didn't get soggy because it is used to create a thin "paste" when mixed with the cheese powder. Just be sure to drizzle lightly, several times over the popped corn.
I couldn't wait to try this cheese corn. I went to order Anthony's Cheddar Cheese Powder but apparently, they don't sell it anymore. Do you know of a similar cheddar cheese powder?
You dont know how much i love you right now. I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure out how to make gourmet cheese popcorn. Im tired of paying 20 dollars for one bag and i crave it comstantly. It may be a little expensive at first to start out but the much bigger yield you get is so worth it. Thank you so much !!!! ********EDIT******** Finally made some and it is delicious. Just like the real deal. Highly recommended.
Hey boys and girls. I got to turn ya on to this. MY POPCORN i sprinkle 1/2 tbs. jalapeno powder on my bag of popcorn, that was cooked and shook up OMG YUM ~ YOU GOT TO TRY THIS 👍👍
I used a coconut oil but had a strong fragrance of coconut. In fact it didn't smell like cheese popcorn it smelled like coconut. Am I using the wrong kind of coconut oil? 👍
Anyone please help me, i try garret cheese and the teksture so crunchy, but if we look at the video i have no idea how can my popcorn goin crunchy ? Its just cheese powder and oil, i think it will be soggy... can any one help me ?
You can pop the popcorn however you please. The important part is just the cheese powder to coconut oil ratio. Technically you could even pop the popcorn without margarine if you wanted. The whole point is to basically coat the popcorn with the cheese sauce. Try not to go above 135 F degrees with the cheese sauce otherwise it may start to burn.
I haven't tried Hooser Farm, but I would think there's many good cheese powder makers out there. I just happened to try Anthony's based on the ingredient description.
My cheese is clumping the second i put it in. I think it might be my coconut oil, I'm using Virgin Coconut oil and I'm seeing people say refined is the best. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong, just bought a giant jug of coconut oil and don't want to go get another
Figure it out? What was the problem? I had bad clumping to, but i did what he said not to do, i used butter. Butter will not work. Live and learn. I dont like margarine and didnt have any anyway. SO, I just used powdered cheddar and coconut oil and it turned out pretty good.
Ok…so I just used your method…👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 You are a GIFT to the world!!!

Dude, I've been looking for this for 40+ years. Thank you
I have been trying to duplicate Garretts for about 2 yrs and you my friend are a wonderful wizard!!! Thanks so much as I am all over this now!!

Thank you for sharing and not gatekeeping. I'm going to try this very soon. Bless you. ❤
This is by far the best recipe video on how to make Chicago popcorn. Thank you!
Great recipe what you can do is to place popcorn on a baking sheet to air in a warm oven for a few min. to dry will work really well.
thanks. i have been looking for this recipe after having it once at a cinema hall. finally found it .

Thank you Dale….this sounds so yummy I want to try your recipe !
Just tried this. It's great. I thought it would be soggy from the cheddar paste. It was not. So glad I gave it a try.
My sister has gone to Vegas twice since this pandemic and both times, including today (Labor Day), Garrett's was closed. She even sent me a pic not even an hour ago. I told her, thassokay.

Thanks for the video Mr Dale, i've tried it. It works well. I used the cheddar powder and mox it with some palm oil. Thanks man..
Amazing video!! Surprise you don’t have more followers. I just ordered my cheese and ready to try this tomorrow
Thank you great recipes for cheese popcorn. Please make more videos. Thank you

I copy you and it’s fantastic - now I’m going to make the coco by the same brand. Anthony’s cocoa with the coconut oil.

This stuff is yummy great video
Wow. This is dope!
I tried it out and this is a fantastic dupe Sir!
Thanks for trying it, and super glad you liked it. I just had a batch yesterday.
Its soggy r crispy ?
@@adamramadhian644 it's not soggy but it's also not suuuuper crispy. I liked the texture!
@@star150010 and why my cheese powder cant mix well with oil ? Anyone please i wanna duplicate garret cheese paste 🙏
anyone knows - does anthony still sell cheese powder? As I can’t find any online…
Any cheese powder substitutes? Cheers!
3 tbsp margarine (melted)
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
3 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
3 tbsp cheddar power
Wow! Six tablespoons of oil for 1/3 C popcorn before we even get to the cheese is insane. I guess this one is for those with nothing left to lose
I would airpop the popcorn and leave the margarine out.
That microwave is HUGE!
Well explained and detailed
They apparently no longer make the Anthony’s cheddar powder. Anyone know of a good substitute?😢
I love popcorn too! Garrett’s is the best. Can’t wait to try your recipe!......and, I never thought to use oil for microwave popcorn🤔...
nice
Thanks I'm going to try this
I can really relate to making things I tried as a young kid, really glad you perfected the recipe! I have to try it!
I just found your video and absolutely love your instructions. I do have a question, can I stick it in the oven to help it Harden some? I don't know what Chicago popcorn is like but I wanna make a cheddar popcorn that's not wet
It doesn't wet the popcorn. The oil helps it stick to the popcorn is all. They also use oil and powdered butter for the same reason.
@@stanleonard86 Thank you very much for your response. I can't wait to try

Thanks for this, Dale! Really enjoyed your passion for popcorn, and have been looking how to recreate this flavor at home :)
Awesome recipe 😋😋
My favourite recipe
Thank you for sharing
I tried this with the WinCo powdered cheese sauce and it was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am gonna order this cheddar and follow your recipe! The closest garret I have is in Vegas and I have to stop there any chance I can get!!! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial!

Looks Great! 🍿 🍿
Been craving this popcorn since moving from Chicago.... can't wait to try this. Any recipes for the caramel popcorn as well? Thanks
I do have a super caramel popcorn recipe, and will get it on video. Thanks.
Thank you!!!

Love this popcorn - but can’t find the cheese anywhere now.
Love it. Ty
Thanks for sharing. I’m going to try it - where did you buy that beautiful red bowl? Please.
Hi. Not sure where or when I got it, but it's a 5 piece stacking bowl set with lids. The red large bowl is 12" across the top. GHP is on the bottom.
Popcorn in the Freezer! That's the real tip! Also amazing video. Going to try it out myself!
Thank you for this recipe!
I couldn't wait to try this cheese corn. I went to order Anthony's Cheddar Cheese Powder but apparently, they don't sell it anymore. Do you know of a similar cheddar cheese powder?
I think they are just out for the time being. I have emailed them asking for an eta. There are other quality powders, but I haven't used any. Dale
@@dalemoore555 Okay, I'll keep checking. Thanks for responding
Yes this is 💯
❤ from 🇳🇵
This turned out great! Coupled with my family's recipe for caramel corn, you've taken it to a new level!
03/21/23,,,i put a bag of Velveeta creamy cheese on a batch of popcorn last night,,and ate it with a fork👍🏼 Oh Yeah
Making this today! Thank you 😊
How was it??
looks so good
Thank you!
He said it’s good around 420 and I am just going to agree with high it’s done just in time 420 baby
can i use butter instead of coconut oil does it will taste better ?
Look delicious
Use coconut oil for popping, instead of the margarine. It tastes beter, and is better for you.
You dont know how much i love you right now. I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure out how to make gourmet cheese popcorn. Im tired of paying 20 dollars for one bag and i crave it comstantly. It may be a little expensive at first to start out but the much bigger yield you get is so worth it. Thank you so much !!!!
********EDIT********
Finally made some and it is delicious. Just like the real deal. Highly recommended.
Did you make it?
@@Kiki-AndBeyond Not yet. About to order the cheese powder online. I cant wait though.
what would the recipe be if i needed 2 cups of cheese sauce? for a bunch of popcorn
Hey boys and girls. I got to turn ya on to this. MY POPCORN i sprinkle 1/2 tbs. jalapeno powder on my bag of popcorn, that was cooked and shook up OMG YUM ~ YOU GOT TO TRY THIS 👍👍
Wow I tried this last night and I'll never buy And I will never buy cheese popcorn again thank you
Thanks you from congo
Any thought on gee?
How long does it stays crunchy?
Does the coconut oil lend any coconut flavor to the cheese sauce? / Does it come out sweeter than if you used another oil?
It does if you use regular coconut oil which changes the taste of the cheese.
I think it’s pretty good at 4:20 …😂😂
I tried this and I think I may have messed up the coconut to cheese ratio and the popcorn had a strong aftertaste of coconut
Make sure you use refined coconut oil…If you use virgin/unrefined coconut oil you will get that coconut flavor taste…
@@whatseatingchennaynay5485 Ok, I will make sure to try again. Thank you so much!
What brand of coconut oil you used??
Is it written down? I can't follow so quickly!
where you get that popcorn at?
Yummy😍
That’s popcorn music, too
I used a coconut oil but had a strong fragrance of coconut. In fact it didn't smell like cheese popcorn it smelled like coconut. Am I using the wrong kind of coconut oil? 👍
Yes you are REAL coconut oil doesn’t have a smell.
Anyone please help me, i try garret cheese and the teksture so crunchy, but if we look at the video i have no idea how can my popcorn goin crunchy ? Its just cheese powder and oil, i think it will be soggy... can any one help me ?
Hello are y can make popcorn caramel please
Can you use air popper popcorn for this as well?
You can pop the popcorn however you please. The important part is just the cheese powder to coconut oil ratio. Technically you could even pop the popcorn without margarine if you wanted. The whole point is to basically coat the popcorn with the cheese sauce. Try not to go above 135 F degrees with the cheese sauce otherwise it may start to burn.
Why not use canola oil (a natural liquid) instead of coconut oil?
Coconut oil is natural oil dummy.
which best, anthony or hoosier hill farm cheddar powder sir?
I haven't tried Hooser Farm, but I would think there's many good cheese powder makers out there. I just happened to try Anthony's based on the ingredient description.
My cheese is clumping the second i put it in. I think it might be my coconut oil, I'm using Virgin Coconut oil and I'm seeing people say refined is the best.

You need to use refined coconut oil if you don’t want your popcorn to have a coconut taste…
