The butter flavor is infused into the kernels or added via an oil packet, providing a classic movie-theater taste. Each bag contains a specific amount of popcorn kernels, oil, and flavoring, making it easy to prepare a single serving or a small batch.

To prepare, place one bag of popcorn in the center of your microwave. Set your microwave to the high power setting and cook for the time recommended on the bag, typically between two and four minutes. Listen carefully for the popping to slow down to one or two seconds between pops, then stop the microwave immediately to avoid burning. Carefully remove the hot bag from the microwave, as steam will escape. Open the bag away from your face and pour the popcorn into a bowl.
