This recipe was so easy, and so delicious! We used 1 bag of microwave popcorn (for the easy way out instead of popping in ourselves!). This recipe would be great to make for a summer picnic party. All you do is dump everything together, and you're done! I would highly recommend! Enjoy!

Well, I gave it a try, and I loved it! Everyone else did too. Definitely something no one had tasted before.

couldn't help it - it was too strange to pass without a try - made it pretty much according to the recipe and quite enjoyed it, and the picky ones loved it. I'll be making this again, thanks for putting it here for me to find!
