Corn!
At the home of: Stacy Hart



Microwave Caramel Corn

From the kitchen of: Angela Rivers


4 quarts plain air popped popcorn

1 cup brown sugar

1 stick butter

1/4 cup light corn syrup

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda


Place popcorn in large brown paper grocery bag. (If bag has handles remove them.) In a large microwave-safe dish (at least 2 quarts) combine brown sugar, butter, syrup and salt. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir, then microwave 1 minute. Stir in baking soda until mixture becomes thick, then microwave on high 1 minute. Carefully pour syrup over popcorn. Staying in the middle works best. Close bag and shake well (or stir with a wooden spoon until all pieces are covered). Microwave bag for 1 1/2 minutes. Shake bag and microwave another 1 1/2 minutes. Shake well once last time. Then pour onto ungreased cookie sheet or tin foil. Caramel corn will cool quickly. Store in Tupperware to keep fresh.
