I'm not sure what went wrong, but my popcorn bars turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the popcorn.

These popcorn bars were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I'll try using a different popcorn next time.

These popcorn bars were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
