My Mom made this all of the time when we were growing up, and it was always delicious!
Mammy's Microwave Caramel Popcorn
2 gallons popped popcorn (about 1 cup unpopped)
1 large paper grocery bag
1/2 cup butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 TBSP. water
pinch baking soda
Place popped corn in the paper grocery bag. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, and water and stir to mix. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, and bring to a hard boil. Remove from heat and add the pinch of baking soda. Stir to mix. Pour over top of the popped popcorn in the bag. Mix well, stirring to coat all of the popcorn, with a large rubber spatula or long wooden spoon. Close and fold over the top of the paper bag and place in the microwave. Cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes in 30 second increments, stirring well in between each one. Serve warm and enjoy.
Makes about 2 gallons.
