Ingredients:  
2 bags of microwave popcorn
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions:
Pop bags of popcorn and dump into a bowl. Use a bowl, so that the un-popped kernels will fall to the bottom of the bowl and not make their way into the caramel! (Ouch!)

In a large stockpot heat brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt over medium heat. (I put my stove dial on 6.) Stir occasionally to get the butter incorporated. (I stir with a sturdy heat-resistant spatula, but a wooden spoon is fine too.)

Once the brown sugar mixture starts to form big bubbles start a timer for five minutes and do not stir any more (resist the urge to stir!!).

While the caramel is bubbling, put out on the counter sheets of wax paper or parchment paper.

Once the timer goes off, remove from heat and stir in the baking soda. This will make the mixture turn foamy, so don’t freak out.

Add the popcorn in by handfuls (do not dump the bowl of popcorn in, remember the un-popped kernels!). Fold the popcorn into the caramel, careful not to burn yourself with the hot caramel!

Turn the popcorn out onto the sheets of wax paper and use your spatula or spoon to to break it up. I just pushed it down with the back of my spatula. Then once it’s cooled to the touch a bit, I broke it up with my hands to make bite sized pieces.

Allow to cool completely and then store in an airtight container or put out in cute bowls for easy munching.

Personal Notes:
I make the popcorn in the microwave in a paper lunch bag with 1/4 cup popcorn kernels. In my microwave it is finished in about 1 minute and 15 seconds.
