I just watched this episode on FN. Michael made three diferent flavors of popcorn from his "original" huge pa that he popped... using 1 1/2 c. unpopped corn. That may be where your confusion lies. He just put handfuls of the popped corn from the "mother pot" into bowls to flavor each one differently. Hope this helps!Read more

mmm, can be good

Just one tip...make sure the popcorn is cool before adding the other ingredients. If you add the chocolate to hot popcorn it... melts and makes eating it a mess. Also don't grind your chocolate too fine or you will need a ton of it in order to have good chocolate flavor. Bon appetite!Read more

Great popcorn!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was easy and very good. I nice change from the ordinary popcorn snack. Not sure about the amount of popcorn the recipe... said to make however. It says at the bottom that it yields 6 cups of popcorn but 1 1/2 cups of unpopped popcorn makes a lot more than 6 cups. Maybe I was misreading something?Read more
