This is a great snack for kids ! I made it for my sons school Christmas party and it was a hit! Don't expect a healthy snack, it has butter and sugar but once a year won't hurt. Make sure you coat the popcorn right away as the coating hardens as it sits! We used strawberry and I used nuts and bolts instead of peanuts and pretzels due to any allergies in the classroom.
