Absolutely delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these and adjusted the recipe as follows: added 3 tbsp cocoa and 1 tsp vanilla. I didn't make them into balls, I... spread it out over waxed paper, cooled and tore it apart. My husband isn't much on sweets, but he liked it so much I had to make a second batch for him to take to work. He couldn't wait for his buddies to try it. It definitely satisfied my sweet tooth.Read more

Not Bad, But Not the Best.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I added vanilla and a little more cocoa. I would have preferred it to be more chocolately. I tasted it and it wasn't quite... to my liking so I melted in 2 giant Reese's peanut butter cups. It tastes much better that way. I probably won't make this recipe again. Instead I will probably just melt some real chocolate. I also made a second batch of popcorn with just melted Hershey's Cookies and Cream candy bar (white chocolate and oreo cookie pieces) and that was a million times better.Read more

Yummy!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for Halloween and added orange M&M's to make them more festive. I added 1 extra Tbs. of Coco Powder, 1 tsp.... vanilla extract and 3 dashes of cinnamon to make this recipe my own. I let the chocolate sauce cool for a couple minuets before adding the popcorn to make sure the popcorn didn't wrinkle and get soggy. Very good and gooey treat...will make for Christmas with red and green M&M's!!Read more

Easy and kid friendly recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The taste is great, although I wanted a stronger chocolate flavor. It's more like a caramel corn with a hint of chocolate,... so next time I'll add more cocoa and possibly even a bit of vanilla. Otherwise, I am very impressed with how easy the recipe is, and kids would have fun helping make the balls. But be careful to let it cool enough before shaping.Read more

good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Added a little extra cocoa and a little vanilla to it, pretty good. With some chopped peanuts it would be even better.
