Best recipe! Easy to make and so yummy! I co-host a Christmas goodie exchange every year. I made this last Christmas and I already have people begging me to bring it again. I didn't even get some for my family, so make an extra batch.

Oh man, this is one tasty snack. shame to save it just for Christmas! I used microwave popcorn so had to do some math to figure out how many bags to pop but it worked out. Next time I will use mixed nuts I think & maybe roast them in the oven before hand. This was a big hit with my family & everyone I gave some to.

I made this and added to some of my Christmas gifts and everyone enjoyed it. The only changes I made were I cheated and used 3 bags of microwave popcorn instead of 1 1/4 cups unpopped popcorn and I used peanuts and cashews for the almonds. Thanks for the recipe I'm sure I'll be making this again.

I cut this recipe in half & substituted a 8 oz. can of Mauna Loa Macadamia Nuts/Almonds for the almonds & added a cup of thin pretzels. I also placed it into a 300 degree oven & mixed it up a few times. It is so good-everyone loved it. I will make this again!
