Not only is it very inexpensive to make, it only takes a few ingredients. Plus, you don't have all the added chemicals that are in the store-bought microwave popcorn. We love to use coconut oil in our homemade microwave popcorn, but you can easily use butter or nothing at all.

You will need a brown paper bag to microwave it. I recommend putting wax paper in the bag, too. It helps hold in the grease. If you don't want to use wax paper, you can use two bags put together instead. Lay the brown bag down.

Next, you will need a 1/3 cup popping kernels. Aldi usually has big bags of them for around $1. Add the popping kernels to the brown bag.

If you want you can add a small spoonful of coconut oil. If you prefer butter instead, I recommend about a tablespoon.

Then, roll up the end of the bag 3-4 times so it stays shut. Place it in the microwave for around 2 1/2 - 3 minutes. This will vary based on your microwave. I usually just wait until I don't hear kernels popping for about 10 seconds. Give it a minute to cool and then shake the bag to mix up all the oils. If you would like you can add salt now.

This homemade microwave popcorn is so easy to make and it's delicious. Once you discover how to make homemade microwave popcorn you won't ever want the store-bought again. How do you make your popcorn?
