This snack has been so popular I thought it deserved a spot on the blog. I remember my mom making this snack on many an occasion and it was always DU-licious!

Caramel Corn

3 bags microwave popcorn (or equivalent of stove-top)
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter or margarine
1/4 cup light corn syrup (or whichever corn syrup you have)
1/2 tsp baking soda

Put the popped popcorn into a large brown grocery bag. Combine brown sugar, margarine and corn syrup in a sauce pan*. Bring to boil over medium-high heat and let boil for 2 minutes. Add baking soda (mixture will turn frothy and bubbly). Pour this over the popcorn in the bag and shake well. Put the bag into the microwave for 45 seconds. Shake well again. Microwave again for 30 seconds. Shake well and pour out onto a cookie sheet to cool for a few minutes. Once cool to the touch break up with your hands and put it in a large bowl. ENJOY!!

(*you can also make the caramel in the microwave if you prefer)
