2 tablespoons fresh lime peel
1 tablespoon green colored decorator sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/3 cup graham crackers, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons popcorn

Put oil, popcorn and sugar into the popper. Fasten the lid securely and hold hot pad with left hand over steam vent while stirring with the right hand. Use high heat. Popping should start in about 2 minutes. Remove from heat when popping almost stops.
