Good! I made these back at Halloween time to hand out to the trick or treaters that I knew - not sure where my review went. The flavour of these popcorn balls is great and they are nice & crunchy. We just found them a little dry & salty. Next time I'll cut out the salt & cut back a bit on the popcorn.

    I used chocolate chips instead of peanuts, although not a full cup!! mmmmmmmmm this is perfect for a sweet tooth candy fix! I did not add salt and used salted microwave popcorn instead. Tasty!
