This is a great recipe, but after reading some of the comments about the mess, etc., I have to comment. Having the right tools makes all the difference. I use a large rectangular roasting pan with high (about 4") sides to do the mixing and a large heavy plastic or wooden spoon. I got my roaster at Goodwill, the kind that used to come with a new kitchen range. Just keep turning the whole glob of popcorn and syrup slowly and it will end up evenly coated. I leave it in the roaster, putting about half of it on a cookie sheet or another roaster (mine has a lid that works well) and put on two racks in the oven. A large plastic dish pan also works well to mix in--just buy a new dish pan and dedicate for this use.
