Can I please give this 10 stars. YUMMMMMMMMY. The only problem I had was my nuts would not stick BUT I keep them in the freezer and I think they were still to cold. Did NOT keep me from eating the whole batch ( I cut it in half) Will make again and is going in my divine recipes of 2009 cookbook Made for Everyday is a Holiday tag

OUTSTANDING and 10 stars all the way! I love this stuff. I made a half batch so I used 4 cups fresh popcorn (not in the microwave), subbed Splenda for the sugar with GREAT results, and used peanuts and margarine. FABULOUS stuff and I cannot wait to take it to a party. It will surely be the hit!!! Will photograph when it completely cools. Made for Bevy Tag.
