*HOW TO MICROWAVE POPCORN IN A BROWN PAPER BAG*

Ingredients in Popcorn: Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Salt, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Annatto Color. Contains: Fish, Milk
Fish? Milk? In my popcorn? Um, no thanks. I’ll skip the h...ydrogenated oil, fish, and milk additives in my snacks by sticking to my homemade popcorn version.

Here’s how to make Microwave Popcorn in a Brown Paper Bag:

Get a brown paper bag
Add a 1/2 cup scoop of bulk popcorn kernels to your brown paper bag.
Fold the bag over twice.
Don’t use staples to secure the bag, this might spark in your microwave.
This is so exciting. I’m popping with excitement. LOL!!!
Stick the popcorn bag into your microwave. I set mine for 3 minutes on high.

POPPING TIP: Stop the microwave when the popping slows to one to two pops per second. You don’t want to burn your tasty snack.
Now why not get creative and try some sweet or savory flavors to mix up movie night?

NOTE: One reason kernels don’t pop is because they don’t contain enough water to produce the steam required to get them to pop. My dad showed me a long time ago that if you soak your kernels in a bowl of water for a few minutes before you begin popping that you’ll get a much better pop corn to kernel ratio.

Add gourmet topping:

*Savory flavors to try:
-A pinch of salt with a dab of butter is the most popular way to eat popcorn.
-Curry powder is great too!
-Add chili powder, hot sauce, and salt.
-Shake in onion powder and garlic powder — hold the kiss.
-I coat the kernels with Tabasco before cooking.
-Inexpensive seasoning packets also work great: spaghetti sauce mix, taco seasoning, etc. It doesn’t take much to add a some good flavor!
-Another great way to add some flavor to it is a “little” bacon grease and salt. It is quite good. I also love grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and some olive oil, maybe a little salt if the parmesan cheese is not salty enough.
-mix in Parmesan cheese with a little salt.
-try Old Bay seasoning – they even have a lower sodium version – and the spray butter if you like
-Old Bay, Old Bay and Parmesan cheese, Butter and salt, Taco Seasoning, Lemon Pepper, Garlic Salt, Mix in dried fruit (diced), French Fry Seasoning.
-My favourite topping is Cavender’s Greek seasoning
-Buttermilk Ranch mix packets
-Mac n Cheese cheese powder packet (we did this when we had Kraft Dinner mac n cheese one night and really just didn’t mind the noodles with other things)
-melted cheese covered kernels never tasted so gooood.
-salt, garlic powder and sprinkle on grated Parmesan cheese
-butter + basil infused olive oil + crushed or powdered garlic + shredded Parmesan cheese + salt to taste = Pesto Popcorn!!! Amazing!!
-just layer up some freshly grated cheese of your choice over the freshly popped popcorn
-sprinkle coffee in a skillet and “burn” it for a little bit (stirring). VOILA!
-dry minced garlic and a sprinkle of asiago cheese.
-try a slight amount of Ramen Noodle seasoning packet, and a little margarine or butter, but be careful, because a very little goes a long way!
-put a little lemon pepper and seasoning salt

*Sweet Flavors to try:
-A dash of cinnamon, a sprinkle of sugar, and a topper of honey. Now that’s money.
-chocolate Popcorn: Mix oil & sugar & coco powder in skillet. Add corn & pop!
-popcorn with curry powder & maple syrup — pure win.
-maple Butter is so delicious on popcorn – and so easy to make - maple syrup, butter and brown sugar. mmmmmmm.
-after the popcorn is done, I melt some butter and honey together in the pot and either toss the popcorn in the mixture or drizzle it on top. Delicious!
-peanut butter caramel for popcorn. In saucepan on med/high heat: equal parts karo syrup, peanut butter, and brown sugar, stir constantly until caramel is a smooth even texture immediately pour over popcorn and mix until it evenly coats popcorn. WARNING the caramel gets very hot!
-melt butter, spoonful of honey and a couple of spoons of sugar in a pan….caramelise it and then toss in the cooked popcorn.
-I like to melt some peanut butter, butter, and jelly and drizzle it over the popcorn. It sounds wierd but it is amazing!
