    This was swimming in oil! I had to drain it in a strainer and line the bowl with paper towels to soak up the oil. I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt and it was still too salty. Maybe 1/2 the oil and salt would work better and be a lot healthier.

    this is an OK recipe the one thing to keep in mind is that most schools ar enow "nut free" and this one is not so good for that purpose.

    This is a very good recipe. I did make some changes to suit my family's tastes. I agree with a previous reviewer that it would probably be too salty for us so I replaced garlic salt with garlic powder and replaced season salt with Mrs.Dash Table blend. If one is worried about the oil I'm - Read more ...

    I must have gotten sidetracked somewhere. I was looking for healthy kids snacks. 2 cups of veg oil..over 50 g of fat..over 1600 mg of sodium..you must be kidding.
