There is nothing quite like homemade popcorn. It’s something I think all of us can appreciate and we may even snack on it every opportunity we have.

Of course, if you are going to make your own popcorn, then your mind would automatically think about the time that it takes to stand over the stove and shake the pot while it is popping.

Is it worth it? Yes, but there has to be a better way.

Recently, we were introduced to a better way by a TikTok user named Megan. She shared a video that showed something that we should’ve known all along and, in fact, she’s been using it for years to make homemade popcorn for children.

We may get a variety of tips from TikTok, but this is one that can really make a difference in your food-based life.

What is the secret?

Quite simply, you grab a paper bag, drop in some butter, popcorn kernels, and salt. Pop it in the microwave and in only two minutes, you will have delicious popcorn.

In the comments, people were not only expressing surprise that they didn’t know about this before, but they were also thanking her for changing their lives. Some were even claiming that it was better tasting than the store-bought microwave brand!
