I changed to peanuts to unsalted pretzels. That way it is safe to send to school...

everyone that tried it, loved it. I had to change it somewhat. I ran out of corn syrup so I substituted 1/2 of it with honey. Wow!

Sounds really good but my son isn't able to have popcorn because he has crohn's disease. Could you suggest a substitute just for the popcorn?
