Kids In The Kitchen - Homemade Microwave Popcorn

The boys and I decided to make some homemade microwave popcorn for family night tonight (Popcorn and a movie!)

Ingredients:

1/4 cup popcorn
paper bag
scotch tape

Directions:

1. Pour 1/4 cup popcorn into a brown paper bag.

2. Fold and tape bag.

3. Place in microwave for 2 to 3 minutes or until there is about 5 seconds in between pops.

4. Eat plain or garnish with salt, butter, cheese, etc.

Cute! We eat popcorn about once a week, and until last year, we used the microwave brands. For Christmas, I got an air popper, and we just LOVE the natural tasting popcorn. This would be a great alternative!

I didn't know you could do this either. We are spoiled with the microwave kind. I love the Kettle Korn.

We usually buy the microwave kind too- but the boys are into science projects and trying things out, so we thought we'd give it a try. It was great to teach measurement!

I heard you can put a lil olive oil or popcorn oil in with this and sprinkle cinnamon on the corn.

a good way to stretch a buck too - popcorn in the bag is a lot cheaper than buying microwave popcorn

I'm so gonna have to try this, I love the air popped popcorn my mom use to make as a child and poured butter all over it. This would be an easy alternative to buying an air popper. Thanks!!
