    This sounds yummy! My question is: what is puffcorn? Is it like Cheetos? or is it a type of grain or cereal? - 3/6/09

    Made these for Christmas present over a year ago. Everyone just loved. My son just went crazy and wanted the recipe. He loved making it now. - 7/8/21

    I tried this and it never crisped up...seemed mushy. Any suggestions for trying again? (It tasted good...just texture didn't seem right) - 4/13/11

    This is a big hit at parties but not low calorie or low fat. Everyone always wants the recipe. Once you start eating these its hard to stop. - 4/28/10
