Microwave Caramel Corn
Ingredients:
6 quarts popped popcorn, unsalted
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white syrup
1 stick margarine
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
Directions:
Spray the inside of a brown paper grocery bag with Pam (or
non-stick spray). Put 3 quarts of popcorn in bag.
Mix in a microwave safe container (4 cup glass measuring cup
works well) the sugar, syrup, margarine and salt. Microwave on high
for 2 minutes. Stir well. Microwave additional 2 minutes on high
and stir in baking soda immediately. Mixture will be foamy. (Note:
If you stir with a wooden spoon you can leave in container to
cook.)
Pour half of foamy mixture over popcorn in bag, add rest of
popcorn and then pour remaining foamy mixture over top. Fold top of
bag over and Shake Well Quickly.
Place bag with top folded over in microwave and microwave 90
seconds on high. Shake Well Again.
Pour mixture out to cool (2 cookie sheets work well - mixture
will not stick when cool, do Not grease pans). When completely cool
break apart and store in airtight containers.
Note: Microwaves cook times vary slightly. Syrup mixture is very
hot so work quickly but carefully.
