This is a great base for a new way to eat popcorn as a snack, but I did think it was very peanut buttery and needed some lime and more hotness to balance out the flavors. It was really good with the additions, and not salty for me (I used low sodium soy sauce and natural peanut butter).

Nice, different POP-corn treat :) great sauce with nice flavors...I used homemade nut butter with chopped chunks added, soy margarine and Braggs amino...used my own red-pepper flakes (dehydrated from last summers garden) and added TONS (my taste runs to spicy)...oh yeah used hot air popped corn and let the heat run as I poured the sauce ...next time I will probably add a bit of honey to the peanut sauce (ya-know to maybe make it "sticky-er" )...Thanks for the recipe share...

Great movie snack! DH and I enjoyed this alot. It was a little salty for me, but that doesn't mean it will be for others. I love the peanut butter and spicy-ness together! Thanks for posting.
