Method
 

  1. Pop popcorn and place in a large bowl, removing any un-popped kernels.

Notes

  • Choose Your Favorite Popcorn: One 3.28-ounce bag of microwave popcorn contains 5 tablespoons of un-popped kernels, which makes 10–11 cups of popped popcorn. So for this recipe, you can buy 11 cups of plain pre-popped popcorn, pop 5 tablespoons of your own kernels, or pop 1 bag of plain microwave popcorn.
