I've made this recipe the last two Christmases to give as gifts. Great tasting- everyone who receives, it loves it!

This was not very good at all. One pan of popcorn mix burnt while the other one (pampered chef) did not. They both baked the same amount of time. Not sure what went wrong here. This had too much of a honey taste, which I do not like. I really was looking forward to this because I like peanut butter flavored anything (almost). The concept was a nice thought, but turned out disasterous. Will not make again.
