Weis Butter Popcorn Kernels
What it is
This is a package of unpopped popcorn kernels that have been coated with a butter flavoring. The kernels are designed to be popped at home using a stovetop or air popper. The butter flavor is intended to provide a rich, savory taste reminiscent of movie theater popcorn. It offers a convenient way to enjoy a classic snack with added flavor.

- Party servings
To prepare, heat a tablespoon or two of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add about 1/3 cup of the kernels to the hot oil, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cover the pot with a lid, leaving it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. Shake the pot gently every few seconds as the kernels begin to pop. Once popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat. Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and season as desired.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain popcorn kernels, these are pre-seasoned with butter flavor. This means you do not need to add butter or salt separately to achieve a buttery taste. The flavor is infused into the kernels before packaging, offering a consistent taste experience with every batch.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a flavorful and easy-to-prepare popcorn snack will appreciate these kernels.
How to keep the rest
Store the unpopped kernels in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the package is sealed tightly after opening to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. Proper storage will help preserve the quality of the kernels for future use.
