Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Notes
If you want to add a little more sweetness to the popcorn, try adding some mini marshmallows or M&M’s to the mixture. Just be sure to let the popcorn cool before adding the marshmallows or M&M’s so they don’t melt. You can also add some chopped nuts for a crunchy texture.
