"I love making recipes with add-ins to my popcorn, and this one is sure to please young and old alike! You can add nuts too if you like them. I especially like peanuts, cashews and pecans with this recipe. This is great to have anytime. It's also great during the holidays, and the kids really love it! NOTE: Cooking time DOES NOT include time taken to pop popcorn."
