Loved this recipe! I also baked in 9x13 pans and adjusted time to 45 mins. Came out perfect!

I made two batches for gifts, and really liked it. I didn't have trouble with it burning, I put it in two 9x13 pans instead of two 15x13x1, so maybe it was a little thicker and made a difference. I also added craisins. Had a good flavor!

I would not make this again , it burned and just did not have a good taste.

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.
