Introduction

This is by no means low-fat, but I created this when I was trying to figure out something satisfying that I could take to the movies with me that wouldn't leave me feeling cheated out of my favorite bad-for-you-drenched-in-butter-popcorn and milk chocolate M&Ms. While it is not low-fat, the fat it does contain is mostly mono- and poly-unsaturated ("good-for-you" fats) thanks to the nuts and semisweet chocolate.
