  1. These were just ok to me. They were good tasting, but I found the popcorn gets soggy and its kind of a total mess to eat.
     
  2. I've mad this recipe so many times. It's about time I reviewed it! My fmily and I LOVE THIS! Instead of canned green chilis, I use fresh roasted jalapenos. We like it spicy. My favorite additions are; diced tomatoes (well drained on a paper towel.) After the chesse is melted, I add fresh cilantro and sometimes green onions. Thanks for a very simple recipe, that makes a kick butt snack. :)
     
  3. Very cheese-y, spicy and good!
