Abstract

Microwave popcorn articles (10) includes a microwave popcorn bag (12, 218), and a food charge disposed therein comprising kernel popcorn, fat, salt and sufficient amounts of a heat tolerant glaze forming carbohydrate ingredient such as isomalt to provide the finished popped popcorn with sweet glaze coating. In preparing such microwave popcorn articles, the isomalt in particulate form is added in a separate step and preferably after the kernel popcorn and fat have been added to the bag (12, 218). In preferred forms to reduce contact with fluid, a square bottom microwave popcorn bag (218) and/or a microwave popcorn bag (12, 218) having a susceptor (230) extending from the bottom wall (240) over folds with the bottom wall and an interconnection of the folds are utilized.
