Microwave popcorn

[fenchurche]

Until recently, Costco's Movie Theater Butter microwave popcorn didn't actually contain any butter (or, more importantly, milk), but when I went to buy more last year, I did what I always do and checked the label... only to see that they had changed the recipe to include real butter. I don't blame them, since I suspect it will probably sell better

I just started making stove top popcorn with coconut oil and it's delicious. I'll have to check out this microwave alternative for when I'm just craving the stuff and don't want a massive clean up.

Coconut oil really is the secret to making fantastic popcorn... that's what they use at the movie theater and is what you're smelling when you get popcorn there. I was so happy to figure that out. I

I like the pop secret blast o butter -- I don't think it is really dairy.

Sadly, yes it is. It feels funny to say, but I've been really disappointed that all the popcorn companies are using real butter these days!

What a great idea - looks easy to store as well.

That's one of the things I really liked about it. The old ones they used to make were always so bulky and took up a lot of space (and couldn't go through the dishwasher). So lots of points in this one's favor!

That really does look good. Sometimes I think it is a shame that I don't like popcorn 😥

I've always loved it... but, weirdly, the one time I got pregnant (which sadly did not last), I found I couldn't stand popcorn or chocolate. It was the weirdest thing!
