Delicious Popcorn and Curry Chicken Dip Recipes for Your Weekend Party!

[RossDeb2]

I'm looking for a popcorn recipe with popped corn and pecans and then you pour a sweet mixture over it and bake it in the oven. I'm also looking for the warm curry chicken dip recipe if anyone is willing to share it. It sounds good. I'm hoping to take it to a party this weekend. TIA
