Abstract
Corn kernels packaged within a bag can be popped within a microwave oven and then flavored in two ways. In the first embodiment, the flavoring is incorporated in the bag with the corn kernels, oil or shortening, and other ingredients to be subjected to microwaves. In the second embodiment, the flavoring is applied by sprinkling it on the ingredients within the bag after microwave corn popping, closing the bag, shaking it, and repeating the process several times. In both of these embodiments, when the flavoring contacts the hot popcorn, it melts and adheres to the surface of the popcorn. To prevent the flavoring from giving the popped corn a mottled appearance, a coloring material which generally corresponds to the color of the flavoring is included as an ingredient in the bag of unpopped kernels. During microwave popping, the coloring is distributed in the bag and coats the popped corn. As a result, a flavored popcorn with a uniform, pleasing appearance is produced.
