Yummy Popcorn Recipe

Well, this popcorn recipe doesn't really have anything to do with Bar or Bat Mitzvahs, but it was soooo good, I just had to share it! Someone made it for a snack after a tough tennis match, and it made my sad feelings of tennis failure just melt away. This would be a great Halloween treat as well (maybe add some of those Halloween colored M&M's to the recipe for extra color).

Of course, you could make this for out-of-towner bags as a great treat, so it ties in to Bar/Bat Mitzvahs after all! Put a serving in a cellophane bag and tie it up with some raffia for a nice presentation.
