Homemade Microwave Popcorn

First you will need the following ingredients:

1/4 cup of popping corn (generally $0.99 for a pound bag. This is enough to make at least 50 bags of microwave corn)
1 Teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
To taste – popcorn salt (it has finer granules than table salt with the same taste)

And the following tools:

A stapler
A teaspoon
A measuring cup
A brown paper bag
and
A microwave

Open the bag and pour the popping corn in. Carefully add your seasonings and salt. Shake gently. Now add the teaspoon of olive oil.
 
Fold the bag over once and staple twice. Contrary to popular belief, the staples will not spark in the microwave. Gently shake the contents to mix and press out the air. Set on it’s back in the microwave and cook until the pops get about 3 to 5 seconds apart.
 
Open the bag with great care as steam will be escaping and you can get scalded. Pour into a bowl, serve and enjoy the taste and the knowledge that this heaping bag of microwave popcorn cost less than $0.10!

You’ll need:

  • small pretzels
  • Rolos, unwrapped
  • walnut halves
  • wax paper
  • cookie sheet
  • oven

preheat oven to 275F. Set out pretzels onto waxed lined sheet. Place Rolo on top of each pretzel. Bake for as long as it takes to slightly melt the Rolo. Remove from oven. Gently press walnut into Rolo. Let cool completely.

 

Also looks great at Christmas with Red and green M n’ M’s instead of walnuts.
