- Place the popping corn in a paper bag, folding down the top twice and leaving plenty of space inside for the expanding kernels.
- Place the bag in the microwave and run the popcorn setting.
- Transfer the popped corn into a large bowl, add the bacon bits, salt lightly and toss well.
- Pour over the maple syrup and stir well using a wooden spoon so as to coat the popcorn evenly.
