Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
  • Melted butter optional
  • toppings of choice optional

Instructions

  • Place the popcorn kernels in the paper bag. Fold the top of the brown lunch bag, by folding it 2-3 times over.
  • Place the brown lunch bag with the popcorn kernels in the microwave and set your timer for 2.5 minutes on high. (Cooking time will range from 2-2.5 minutes).
  • Listen to the popcorn kernels popping and when the popping has a one-second gap in it remove the bag of microwave popcorn from the microwave.
  • After cooking, let the bag sit for a minute or two to allow steam to escape and the popcorn to cool down before opening.
  • Open the brown paper bag ever so slightly and shake it upside down over a small bowl to remove any popcorn kernels that didn't pop.
  • Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and season with toppings as desired.
