MICROWAVE CARAMEL CORN 3 qt. popped popcorn 1 c. brown sugar 1/2 c. margarine 1/4 c. white corn syrup 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda Place popped corn in a large paper grocery bag which has been sprayed inside with Pam or any nonstick vegetable spray. (Do not use recycled paper.) Combine firmly packed cup brown sugar, margarine, syrup and salt in a microwavesafe 1 quart bowl and stir well. Microwave on High for 2 minutes, uncov- ered, stir well. Microwave on High additional 2 minutes, stir in soda, mixing well. Pour caramel mixture over popped corn in the coated bag, close bag. Microwave on High for 1 1/2 min- utes, shake bag well. Microwave on High for 1 1/2 additional minutes, shake bag well. Microwave on High for 45 more sec- onds. Spread caramel corn on waxed paper or cookie sheets to cool and store in airtight container. Note: This recipe is for microwaves of approximately 600 watts. If your microwave is higher wattage, you may need to adjust cooking time. My microwave is 700 watts, and I cook the caramel mixture the same amount of time. However, when the bag of popcorn goes in, I cook it for 1 minute and 10 seconds the first two times and 30 seconds the final time. The popcorn may char if cooked too long.
