Microwave Caramel Popcorn - Cracker Jack Style
We like this caramel corn because it is not sticky! Oh, and because it tastes good.
You need:
3 Quarts popped corn in a PAPER grocery bag
(you can add peanuts to the corn if you like.)
1 C Brown sugar
1/4 C corn syrup
1 stick butter
1/2 tsp salt
Microwave these four ingredients for 3 minutes, stir, cook 2 minutes more.
Add:
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
stir until foamy. Pour over popcorn. Fold top of bag over and shake until all the corn is coated with the caramel sauce.
Microwave 1 1/2 minutes. Shake. Cook 1 1/2 minutes. Shake. You may need to cook one more minute.
Cool on cookie sheet.
This popcorn should store ok for about two weeks, but it never lasts more than an hour at our house so I haven't tested that theory. :)

Mmmmm, I'll have to give this a whirl tonight. I looove caramel popcorn.
Thanks Kim
It's fabulous and so easy. We've already made it twice and you're right I would have no idea if it actually lasted 2 weeks. Thanks again! Sara
Ok, what if one is completely sans brown paper bags?
The kids and I created the last few paper bags out of the white paper we get from the newspaper office (end rolls, I think they call them.) It wasn't quite as convient as a ready made bag, but it worked. You can also bake it in the oven at 250 degrees for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. I just never think about wanting some an hour before I want to eat it.
