- Melt a pound of white chocolate melts or almond bark in the microwave or in a double boiler on the stove top.

Can I use microwave popcorn or does it need to be made the old-fashioned way with oil and popcorn in a covered pot on the stove?
Leigh Anne Wilkes says
You can use microwave popcorn, just not one that is really buttery. Your popcorn may be a little salter if the popcorn is salted.

Looks tasty but also fatting. Unfortunately as a diabetic its a no go for me.

I guess I could just ask you this question next Thursday when I see you at Women’s Conference, but I’m too impatient. Another blog had a similar recipe to yours here, but without the Fritos, which got me thinking…how much unpopped popcorn does it take to pop 8 cups of popped popcorn? Thanks- Patti
Leigh Anne says
Patti . I usually pop it in an air popper and use 1/3 c of popcorn kernals – makes about 6-8 cups depending on well they pop.
