  1. Popcorn Fanatic REVIEW:

    The amaretto replaces the corn syrup nicely, which I didn't have tonight when my craving hit! The syrup was a bit thin even after boiling 3 minutes, so, I stirred the popcorn after baking 15 minutes. After baking an hour the result was caramel corn that was light and crunchy with a delicate amaretto flavor.

  2. Prague tester REVIEW:

    When I poured the mixture over the popped corn, the corn shriveled up and there is still liquid in the pan after 2 hours -- There must be some mistake in the amount of the amaretto. 1/2 CUP???

  3. kitchen diva REVIEW:

    oh-my-goodness! easy to make, with DIVINE flavor and satisfying crunch! a real crowd pleaser, also a great gift idea!
