This was SOO good. My friends and I ate ALL of it while watching the new OC. I used peanuts and kind of felt theyjust got in the way; it was hard to get them to mix evenly and they kind of hogged the coating. Also, it's hard to coat the popcorn easily. Regardless it is quite tasty. And don't be put off by the vinegar - the stuff smells rotten when you're cooking it, but it is sweet, I promise! ALSO, I cooked it over medium for a long time (at least 10 minutes) and got sick of waiting and turned it up to high, that cooked it right quick and in a hurry!
