Sometimes an ordinary snack just won't do when you feel like having something different. Here's a quick and easy recipe for a delicious popcorn bar that's made with only four ingredients. When cut into bars, these make great bake sale items and when cut into smaller squares, these actually look great in a candy dish. Read more I give this away as gifts when wrapped in cellophane bags tied with a ribbon and they can also be formed into popcorn balls. You can use either microwave popcorn or pop your own. Candies can be added to the finished recipe as well. This is a good recipe for both adults and children! See less
