Heat Things Up with an Inferno-Inspired Sweet & Spicy Popcorn Snack

We're a little over a week away from the premiere of "Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors" premiering on both Disney Channel and Disney XD on Sunday, September 30.

To get you prepared for the upcoming premiere, we've got a sweet & spicy Inferno-inspired recipe to heat things up for you. In "Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors," Tyler Posey voices Dante Pertuz AKA Inferno, a brooding, dark loner on the run. Dante has the power of pyrokinesis, which makes him capable of generating flames – however, he is not fully in control of his fiery abilities. It’s a thin line between good guy and villain for the unpredictable Inferno.

Our resident snack expert Jenn Fujikawa (@justjenn) is back with a recipe sure to lure Dante out of his loner tendencies.
