Gretchen@BoxyColonial says July 22, 2013 at 11:35 pm Great idea! I resist buying microwave popcorn because it's so cheap to buy the kernels, but then I resist making homemade popcorn very often because of the mess and time involved. Best of both worlds here! Reply
Jackie Karlic says July 25, 2013 at 5:55 pm Hi! Found this post on Project Stash blog hop on Seven Alive. I love making popcorn this way. It's the only way I make popcorn now, but I honestly never tried adding the salt and oil into the bag before popping. I normally add salt and melted butter after, but next time I make it I will try your way 🙂 Now following via Bloglovin' Reply
