    This is delicious and yummy...I added a little nutritional yeast to it which has a slight cheesy taste and makes it more nutritious..yum! - 11/3/09

    I like to dry pan-roast the cumin / other spices & grind up in a mortar & pestle, before sprinkling on; I also leave off the cereal. A good basic recipe to riff on! - 11/4/09

    Tried 1 with the Parmaesan cheese and 1 with grated cheddar cheese. Liked it with both. Kids says it's good enough to try again. - 11/3/09

    I love popcorn but don't know if I'd make this much effort once it's popped. - 11/3/09
