We loved this quick to make, sweet treat. I made a half recipe, and it still made a ton. I used magenta gel food coloring to give it more of a pink color, and drying it in the oven was perfect. I used two cookie sheets and rotated them half way through the drying time. I'd like to try adding a little bit of flavoring next time, like maybe cinnamon or strawberry. **Made for 2019 "Think Pink" tag event**

I made 1/2 the recipe with microwave popcorn and the salty and sweet were perfect together! Tasted like a popcorn ball. Will make again! Made for October 2011 Think Pink Tag Event.

This stuff is addicting. I halved the recipe and it is a good thing I did...I ended up eating the whole bowl myself while watching a movie. The flavor reminded me of old-fashioned popcorn balls. I can't wait to make this again tonight. Made for October 2010 Think Pink Tag game.

Since I didn't have an airpopper I used two bags of microwave popcorn. The amount of ingrdients listed was plenty for this amount of popcorn, unless you like your popcorn really really sweet. This is a great fix for those that want a fix of sweet/salty. Thanks for posting just such a recipe jean. Made for October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month -"ThinkPink" tag game~
