Caramel Corn

Caramel Corn

Put 3 1/2 L popped corn in a large paper bag (no unpopped kernels)
Take
1/2 cup melted margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 t salt
1/4 cup cornsyrup
Microwave 2 min, stir and repeat.
(If you put this recipe to music that would be the chorus.)Add 1/2 t baking powder, stir it in the mixture, and pour over popcorn in the bag.Close and shake, Microwave 2 min, shake and repeat.In these days of plastic grocery bags, I have sometimes been reduced to making it in a very large microwavable bowl, which is much more difficult.
One time, when out of brown sugar, and desperate for some kind of candied popcorn, I used white sugar, and added a couple teaspoons of cinnamon. It worked wonderfully, as the candy coating cooks to a crunchy shell in the microwave (that is, if you let it cool before eating it.) I expect you could add any flavoring or colors you wanted with good results.
