Probably took less than 5 min to make and I doubled the recipe.  It’s really good, only challenge was the popcorn kept floating to the top, it didn’t stay in the mix well, I may just omit it next time. Â
Great rexipe! Â Ty
Hi Janet. We love that this recipe is so easy and so delish. When Joy makes it, she typically uses a deep bowl and then adds it to a mason jar, one scoop at a time, ensuring each scoop contains a nice mix of ingredients. If you decide to try it again, please let us know if that helps.
