    I love this snack! I've made it a few times, but now I use the 100-calorie pack popcorn for a way bigger portion size. I've also added powdered parmesean cheese for chili cheese popcorn and it is amazing. - 4/18/08

    I love this recipe. I saw this the first week I joined and have been making it regularly since. I've added red pepper to mine as I like very spicy and bold foods. So, this really made popcorn POP! - 1/22/09

    It was a a nice change from plain boring popcorn. I used a little nonstick canola (or olive oil) spray and sprinkled the spices on it for less fat. - 7/6/08

    This is a very good substitute for those of us who are trying to cut down on adding salts to our diet. I like this one better than substituting other spices. It's easy to make and tasty. Even the family loves it! - 6/14/09

    I love snacking on popcorn so usually I don't make it cuz I'd eat a whole bag myself. I shared this with my husband (who usually doesn't eat popcorn) and he really liked it too. We'll probably make it again & try other suggestions in place of the butter. - 2/21/10

    Yum! Didn't use the margarine, and still was good. Margarine would've helped the spices stick-will try that next time. As suggested in comments, used the 100 calorie microwave bag, sprinked 2 tbs of parm cheese on it. It was enough for 2 snack servings for me. Nice change from plain popcorn! - 2/21/12
