Simple Microwave Popcorn

Have you all tried this? I had heard about it ages ago and finally gave it a try a few weeks ago. I sent both my air popper and whirly pop to DI when I was decluttering awhile ago and can't stand the taste of microwave popcorn. So when I decided to make several batches of caramel popcorn for my primary leaders I looked this up and tried it out. It is brilliant I tell you! Try it and you will never go back to eating that fake tasting nasty microwave popcorn again! 

Step one: Measure out 1/2 cup of popcorn.

 Step 2: Pour it into a brown paper bag. I used one from the grocery store. I've also seen lunch bags used.
Do not add anything else - just the kernels!

Step 3:  Fold the bag down 2 or 3 turns. Do not staple it or anything. It doesn't have to be sealed.

 Step 4: Put it in the microwave for about 4-5 minutes. Just like with any microwave popcorn listen and when it's a few seconds without popping it is done.

 Step 6: Open the bag quickly, the air will be hot so be careful. It will burn if you do not pen the bag!

Pour it out and be sure and dump the "old maids." You can add butter and salt or spray with a little spritz of pam then a little salt. Or you can make this amazing caramel corn Favorite Caramel Popcorn Recipe. That is my favorite recipe and with 1,300 plus 5 star reviews, you know it's not just me that likes it! 

I hope you throw out your bulky air poppers and never buy nasty store bought microwave popcorn again!
