Ooooh! Thanks for sharing this recipe! Miss Thing’s 2nd birthday party is Sunday and I can’t wait to make a bunch of pretty popcorn!
I typically make and give May Day baskets. This seems a new, refreshing way to fill at basket!
Sounds delicious and looks perfect.
Yum…that looks delicious in so many ways
Oh yummy, thanks for sharing!
I made this recipe tonight after seeing it on here and it is soooo yummy! I’m wondering though if 300 degrees is a little too high. The popcorn on top turned brown after the first 15 minutes. It still tasted delicious though. Would it still turn out right if I turned the heat down a bit or maybe it just needs more turning than just the one time?? Thanks!
Hope you all like it!
Paula – make sure the rack in your oven is down low, and feel free to adjust the heat. Your oven could easily run hotter than mine.
cool project! Great idea for a movie night gift for the kids. TFS
Hugs, Jessica
This is awesome – THANK YOU!! Yummm….
Thank you so much for sharing!! Sound easy enough for ME to make. LOL!!!
Thanks Alicia, I didn’t even think about the rack. I will try that next time to see if that works out better. We did just get a new oven so you’re probably right about it running a little hotter =) My kids loved the popcorn and have already put in their orders for different flavors. Thanks for such a yummy recipe!!
