This is what I would call a super award winning popcorn recipe. I would make only one change. Where are the nuts in this!?

Leave a comment...So I have popcorn at least three or four times a week. This is what I call my guilty pleasure as I am trying to watch what I eat. The guilty part, I cook it in oil on the stove top. However, it has to be way better than the chocolate cake and ice cream I crave. Now this, this is a real guilty pleasure. I have to give this a try at least once.
