15 Reviews of Christmas Tin Popcorn Snack

From: Jazze22

On Dec 29, 2006

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.

    We have made 3 batches of this so far - 2 with nuts, 1 without - all where awesome. A note though, I found that putting it in a low oven, stiring every 10 minutes, made for a more even distribution of coating.

    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!

    This is terrible.....Terribly good, that is!! =) I made a half batch, and it was still a large amount. I added salted cashews to contrast with the sweetness a bit. As it was cooling, I couldn't stop tasting it to where I made myself go brush my teeth so I'd stop eating it!! It's dangeroulsy good! This makes a perfect holiday gift. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    Wow! This is some great stuff Chef Dee. If it's any better when it gets cold than it is warm, I can't guarantee I won't keep it all for myself! It does make alot! I was shocked when I had to start emptying my large pot before it was finished popping. I'm not quite sure how I am going to package it up yet, but I am sure everyone will enjoy it! Thanks so much and Merry Christmas!

    This was very good. It made a very good looking Christmas present. I cut the recipe in half and it turned out just fine. It took mine about 50-60 minutes until I felt it was dry enough to stop mixing every 10 minutes. Thank you for sharing!

    I just received this recipe as part of a Christmas Exchange. It tastes great and would make a great gift. It was nice to see this already posted, it saved me from typing it out myself
