I made this popcorn the day after I had tried it at work. We had our Christmas party and played bingo. Someone had brought the popcorn in for theparty, and I couldn't believe how good it was. I couldn't stop eating it! I thought it would be a fun gift to give to people or to put in a Holiday care package so that is what I'm doing.
