Like Mark F, 6 Tbls bitters sounded alarmingly high to me. Fingers crossed, I went ahead and tried it out. My initial taste, while it was still wet, was too bitter. But it balanced out by the time it was dry. The bitters are pretty assertive in the final product, but not overwhelming. I'd imagine that one could reduce it by a quarter or a third to get more subtle flavoring. Next time I will try it with cayenne. Thanks for the unique recipe. It's tasty!

I've made this three times now, and need to update my original comment. As the popcorn rests, the bitterness really takes a backseat. I brought it to a picnic, and one friend kept the bag next to her and wouldn't let go. I ran out of bitters on the last batch, and ended up using 2 tabls. black currant codial and 4 tbls bitters. It ended up too sweet and one note. I much prefer it with the full 6 tablespoons of bitters as originally written.

This sounds interesting. I made bitters as an experiment and it feels like I have too much of this ingredient so am looking for novel ways to use it up. So far I've made orange marmalade with orange bitters and that worked well. Now popcorn, who knew:)

Meagan - this sounds absolutely wonderful! And what do you recommend to drink with it - spirits, wine or beer? And you know, I hope, that there's a whole category of articles now that match fast food and snacks with drinks....

Surely this should be "8 cups of popped popcorn," not "8 cups of popcorn, popped"—which would imply I ought to pop 8 cups of kernels. That'd be Real Genius quantities of popcorn.

Katie, you're absolutely right. It should read "8 cups of popped popcorn". I've emailed the editors to get that correction taken care of ASAP. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
