Loved how easy this was to make! I always loved this sweet flavored popcorn as a child. :) I Will def. be making this again! Oh! I btw, I did double the recipe to make sure ALL of the popcorn was covered, my first batch was only partially covered. :)~ Other than that, PEFECT!

People at my children's school beg for this popcorn now. I change the color to match the seasons. Delicious!

Thanks for the GREAT recipe! I have used it a number of ways including as appreciation gifts for 100 volunteers! I recently went to a gourmet popcorn shop and was not impressed. Your recipe is my friends' favorite!

I made this for halloween and almost ate it all myself. I had to make another batch for the party. I am going to make it for movie night at our church. We are watching Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. I am going to do a few batches with different colors to go with the theme. FUN!!

This recipe is a keeper! I will make this every Halloween for my grandchildren AND adults. Not too sweet but just right. The color is FUN.

I tried this recipe, and it was delicious. It was a delightful cross between caramel corn and kettle corn. It was the perfect sweet and salty snack. YUM!
