Now here's a different and tasty way to enjoy popcorn! Toasted almonds have never graced a more sinfull sweet. Mmm. Thanks Sharon! (note- I used vegan margarine in place of butter.)

Made this for the DS's music recreation group where it was devoured with people even making detours to pass the container so they could have more. The only thing different that I would do is spread over 3 trays to cook and line the trays with baking paper. I did use a mix of pecan and almond nuts as I didn't have enough of either but enough when put together. Thanks Sharon123, made for 123 Hit Wonders.

I loved this, as soon as it came out of the oven, I started eating it. I can't wait for my DH and DS to get home to try this. Thanks for the recipe. Made for the Potluck Game.
