Ingredients

    1/4 cup popcorn kernels
    brown paper bag

Directions

No more buying packages of microwave popcorn!
Just put 1/4 cup of kernels into a brown paper bag, fold the top of the bag twice (about an inch or two of the bag) and set it upright on your microwave turntable. Set the timer for 2 minutes and listen to see if popping sounds slow down before the time is up to avoid burning the popcorn.

    Very Good

    This is a great idea and we all loved it. However, the calorie count is too low for the whole bag. It is actually closer to 100 calories for the bag. - 7/8/10

    Wow, so easy I should have thought of it, but I'm glad you wrote it up.

    Ideas for toppings - oregano & parmesan cheese; true lime packet and chili powder, a little of the cheese from a mac and cheese dinner, 1 Tablespoon of sugar and cinnamon, some Uncle Dan's Ranch dressing powder, garlic powd.
