Popcorn and Trail Mix

A great inexpensive snack is popcorn. You can cook it in a hot air popper and for very little money have a low calorie snack. The calories go on when you use oil, butter or margarine on it. If calories aren't a problem, then you can dress it with melted butter, parmesan cheese, or brewers yeast.

Another fairly inexpensive but nutritious snack is a trail mix made from sunflower seed kernels, raisins and raw almonds or cashews. Nuts and raisins can be found inexpensively at Costco or Sam's Club.

RE: Popcorn and .....

If the treat is seldom, and calories are not too much of a concern; sprinkle M&Ms on top of the popcorn after the popcorn has lost some of it's 'heat'...(you don't want to melt the M&Ms...)You'll find a pleasant chocolate taste along the way as you're enjoying the salty popcorn...!!!!! My kids won't eat popcorn without the M&Ms...

RE: Popcorn and Trail Mix

Melissa, how much popcorn in the bag to how many minutes (approximately) in the microwave?

RE: Popcorn and Trail Mix

Popcorn can also be made in the microwave in a paper lunch bag with no oil/butter. Watch carefully.
