Microwave Popcorn

I've started making this recipe (if you can even call it that) for Homemade Microwave Popcorn. It is unreal to me how easy this is, and how well it works. I always put melted butter on it. I will never go back to store bought microwave popcorn again! (Okay, I might occasionally go along with some Orville Redenbacher Pour Over Movie Theater Butter Popcorn, but only occasionally!) The only thing I think I'd change about this recipe is to add 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels, not 1/3 of a cup. That combined with my microwave's "popcorn" button should be the perfect combo.

I am almost freaked out by how easy and fantastic this is! I know the butter doesn't really make it healthy, but it's a heck of a lot healthier than store bought microwave popcorn which is full of chemicals, dyes and preservatives. Not to mention, a heck of a lot cheaper!

This is definitely going to be a regular thing in this household!

P.S. One of my favorite youtube cooks did a similar recipe but hers called for mixing the kernels with butter before popping. I don't like her method as well because I feel like it wastes some of the butter (that soaks into the brown bag).
