Popcorn is one of our all time favorite snacks! We used to buy the microwave popcorn boxes from Walmart, Target, or even Costco. However, Porter’s mom told us that there is a MUCH better way to eat popcorn, use the kernels! We first were hesitant about that approach because we did not want to have to buy a popcorn machine. She then told us that there is a simpler way to use the kernels, use brown paper bags.
All you need is a brown paper bag (it MUST be brown. We have tried the white ones before and it will burn the popcorn. Take it from me and only buy brown for this), 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels, and any mix ins that you want (butter, spray, salt, seasoning, etc). You will put the popcorn kernels in the paper bag, fold down the bag two times, and then pop it in the microwave. This popcorn will be more crisp and flavorful!
Side note, my husband’s favorite popcorn add in is peanut M&Ms. Does anyone else do this tradition? If not, you have to try it! It is the best popcorn combo.
