Caramel Popcorn

It has been a very long time since I have posted. I have tried a lot of recipes in the past 2 months I just haven't had time to post them. If you are craving something sweet I have the perfect thing for you. This microwave caramel popcorn is extremely easy and delicious. This recipe came from The Worldwide Ward Cookbook by: Deanna Buxton. It is such a good cookbook and it would be a good one to have if you are looking for a good one.



Ingredients:
1 Cup brown sugar
1/2 Cup butter
1/2 Cup corn syrup
1.2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 quarts popped popcorn or two bags microwave popcorn

1. In a large glass bowl, combine brown sugar, butter and corn syrup. Cook in the microwave for 5 minutes; you don't need to stir it.
2. Remove from microwave. Stir in the vanilla and baking soda. The mixture will foam up.
3. Pour mixture over the popped corn and stir. Shape it into balls or just eat it from the bowl. Makes about 20 popcorn balls.

When I made this I cut the recipe in half, but remember to cut the microwave time in half as well. If not make sure to use hot pads, so you won't burn yourself on the hot bowl. Good Luck and enjoy!
