This is what you need. A lunch bag of the small brown bag persuasion, 1/4 cup popcorn seeds, and a little piece of tape. Plus if your crafty and want to decorate your bags anything you need there.
Put the popcorn in the bag and fold down the edge to close the bag and tape it down. Put it in the microwave for about 2-4 minutes (it only take about 2 minutes 30 seconds in my microwave so do not walk away to do just one quick thing. It burns fast.)
It looks like this when it comes out of the microwave. Now is the perfect time to add the salt.
Then eat.
We make our own popcorn around here because it cost a dollar for a bag of popcorn that last forever (okay at most 6 weeks), and it tastes so good. This way of making popcorn makes it a healthy snack. Like I said if you decorated the bags a great treat or gift indeed. My family loves it. By the way I found the site I got this idea from http://www.bystephanielynn.com/2010/10/make-your-own-microwave-popcorn-packs.html. I still believe TipJunkie posted it on facebook. She did a whole camping theme that is wonderful if you like to decorate brown bags. I hope you enjoy the popcorn.
I hope you have a wonderful family night planned with easy popcorn and that it is filled with Love and Laughter. Be well my friends.
This is wonderful! Seriously, thank you for posting this. Cheap, I can control the portions, and season the way I want! Oh the possibilities.....
ReplyDeleteOh the possibilities are endless. Fresh grated parmesan, with fresh parsley comes to mind.
