Fall Recipes: Microwave Caramel Popcorn by Tina

This is a great snack for any fall night, during the football game or for work.


16 cups of popped popcorn
1 stick of butter
1 c brown sugar
1/4 c white corn syrup
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Spray the paper bag with spray butter until coated. Measure 16 cups of popped corn - microwave or air popped - and place inside bag. In a separate microwaveable bowl, add butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.

Mix and put in the microwave for two minutes. Stir and place in microwave for one more minute. Remove and pour in baking soda. Stir quickly and pour over popcorn. Close bag and shake well.

Place bag in microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove and shake well. Cook for another 1 1/2 minutes. Remove, shake and place on cookie sheets or waxed paper to dry. When dry, place in an air tight storage container.

If you want more chewy corn, only cook in microwave for the first minute and a half, then place on waxed paper.
