Microwave popcorn

[Redfeathers]

I don't know if this has come up before or not...but now I feel kind of dumb knowing that I spend about $4.00 for a box of microwave popcorn when it's so easy to make it yourself for about .10 cents a serving.

I've done it and it works great! You can even recycle the bag... waaaaay cheaper!

How do you flavor yours Jennspeeps? Do you salt it during popping or after?

I even have an air popcorn machine, but have never found spices to my liking. And when they have strong cheese or butter flavor, they end up being just flavored salt. & eating a Huge amount of salt is nothing I'm interrested in. I wonder if mac & cheese dust combined with the little olive oil would work as a flavor? There is a local small bulk foods store that has mac & cheese dust you can buy. hmmm?

That's cool. Someone told me about this once but didn't know how to do it.

If we did not have a popcorn machine I would do this. I love to add white cheddar popcorn seasoning.

I've just salted the popcorn & sprayed it w/ "I can't believe it's not butter" spray. Easy enough to keep at work.

Doesn't the staple spark?

I've never cared for microwave popcorn, so I still make mine in a pan on the stove-top.
