I LOVE this method! Who would have thought you could put popcorn kernels into a paper bag and come out with perfect popcorn?! I have always loved microwave popcorn for the convenience, BUT hated the artificial ingredients and the amt. of salt in them. So, I usually air pop the popcorn or pop in a pot. This version gives me the quickness and convenience of microwave popcorn without the unwanted ingredients! I tried it with the parmesan garlic topping. The only thing I would change is to dump the popcorn in a bowl first, then add a little butter (instead of oil) and the rest of the toppings. I found that trying to mix it in the bag, the oil and toppings seemed to coat only the top layer. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!!

I give 5 stars because this was awesome, but I did have to tweak it a little. I have a REALLY OLD microwave, which isn't your fault, so I had to make it work for me. Also I was unsure as to what position the bag should be (laying down or sitting upright). Here's what works for me: I put the popcorn only in a brown paper lunch bag and folded it over twice (1 inch fold each). I set it upright on top of an inverted microwave/oven safe pie pan, and popped the corn on high for 3 minutes. It popped beautifully! SWEET!! I tried the olive oil/garlic salt and Parmesan combination using my own taste as a guide. It was really good, but I think I prefer plain old butter and salt. I haven't tried the others yet, but I think I might dissolve the sugar in some coconut oil and try the kettle corn version. I usually make my popcorn on the stove and this is soooo much better for calories and cleanup! It's a win/win!! Thank KelBel! 8~)
