"This snack is great at children's parties and a fun treat on TV night," assures Lee Ann Stidman of Spirit Lake, Idaho. "When our boys were small, they loved making and eating it. It can be sent home in snack bags as a party favor with the recipe attached to the bag."

A fun, easy, and quick snack. The ingredients are things that I have on hand at the house so its so easy to make a batch. It reminds me of kettle korn but the colored sugar adds the right amount of sweet. Like the previous comment, I was a little hesitant about the cinnamon, but it is the perfect amount. This would be fun to vary the colors for different holidays and occasions.

I have made this snack several times. My daughters love it and it is fun to vary the sprinkles according to the nearest holiday. I am not usually a big fan of cinnamon but adding the 1/8 teaspoon is just the right amount and it smells great.
