This popcorn is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

The toffee coating on this popcorn is a bit too hard. I think I'll cook it for a little less time next time.

This toffee popcorn is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

I love that this recipe uses real butter and brown sugar. It gives the popcorn a rich, decadent flavor that you can't get from store-bought popcorn.
