Yes, you can make homemade microwave popcorn, and you wont believe how easy it is! I was a little unsure at first, I've heard the stories that it isn't safe, or that the bag would catch on fire. Well, I've made this simple recipe at least a dozen times... and NO fires. : ) Just for safeties sake, I do stay by the microwave and watch it as it cooks though. Seriously, people are worried about it catching fire, but mindlessly put all those nasty chemicals that are in the store bought microwave popcorn into their bodies? It's expensive and loaded with sodium, plus, the steam that escapes when you open a freshly popped bag? It contains dozens of chemicals, some of which have been proven toxic. Now you don't have to worry about all that, just make your own!
DIY Microwave Popcorn
brown lunch bag
1/4 cup non-GMO popcorn {Check out this article about GMO foods}
Pour popcorn into the brown paper bag. Fold top over a few times, making sure the crease on the folds are tight.
Place in the microwave, folded side up and cook on high power for 2 to 3 minutes or until there is 3 - 5 seconds between pops.
Open carefully and add your choice of seasonings. Our families favorite is just good old melted butter and salt.

This is awesome! I'm so excited to tell my mom--she loves popcorn but hates to clean our oil/spin popcorn popper!
I'm sure she'll love it Christine, we love that it's so quick and easy. FYI, be careful and stop the microwave as soon as the popping sounds are 3 to 5 seconds apart, it WILL burn the popcorn if you leave it in there to long.
The kids and I eat a LOT of microwave popcorn so I'm really excited to give this a try!
we love popcorn. I'll have to get some brown bags...easier cleanup!
thank you for sharing this, I'm addicted to popcorn and I admit I always get the microwavable ones...I'm too lazy to do it the safety way. But this is perfect for me :) I would definitely try this at home.
