Popcorn
Okay, I am a huge popcorn fan. Well, not so much with the braces, but they won't be on forever. (Right??) So I was excited to read on one of my favorite blogs, Our Best Bites, that you can make your own microwave popcorn! I have never before thought of this possibility! So we tried it out today.
It's as simple as this: get a small paper bag. Put a few tablespoons of popcorn kernels into the bag. Fold the top over twice, press out the air, and tape it down. Then treat it just like store-bought popcorn: into the microwave for 2-3 minutes. Presto!
At this point you can drizzle in melted butter and shake in a bit of salt. However, we dumped ours into a bowl to make the world's best popcorn recipe. Ever. (If you like peanut butter treats, which I do.) The recipe is a Jensen family classic; here it is for the rest of you!
