Microwave Caramel Popcorn

This caramel popcorn won't heat up your house because you don't need a stove or oven!

Ingredients:

3/4 C brown sugar
6 T butter or margarine
3 T corn syrup
1/4 t baking soda
about 8 cups salted popcorn (not buttered)

Put first 3 ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and microwave uncovered for 1-2 min, stirring after 1 min. (until butter is melted). Mix in baking soda until dissolved (it makes the mixture light brown) and then mix in popcorn. Coat evenly with caramel mixture.

Microwave 3* min., stirring every minute. Spread the popcorn out on wax paper, saran wrap, or a lightly greased cookie sheet. Let it cool and then enjoy!

*If you like chewier caramel, only microwave 2 min, stirring after 1 min.
