We're not a fan of those microwave popcorn packages. They're much more expensive, the popcorn is not as good, and we don't like all the artificial stuff found in the packs.
In the past, we've advocated popping popcorn in a plain paper bag. That's easy and popular but there is a concern about cooking food in containers that are not known safe. To be on the safe side, use a vented microwave safe bowl.
Try our Kansas City Popcorn Emporium Gourmet Popcorn. We've stacked this up against other brands. In blind tests against the major stores, it really is better.
It's a fun, yummy way to celebrate. The handbook below will tell you how and give you recipes. You'll find a black licorice popcorn recipe that is very good and the orange (apricot) popcorn is outstanding. Or create your own with an orange, peach, or caramel flavor.
