Can you tell me why you only suggest air popped or microwave popcorn? Won’t any popcorn work?
Haha! I guess those are the two alternatives I usually think of. I am sure that you can pop it in a pan as well. Was there another alternative you were thinking of?
Oh I totally should have seen this earlier! I just made my usual gluten free Chex mix today for Super Bowl tomorrow but it would have been fun to change it up a bit and try your recipe. I’m going to pin it so that I remember to make it next time. I like the popcorn and parmesan idea!
Good for you for getting a head start Shanda! We will be making everything tomorrow. 🙂
