QUICK MICROWAVE CARAMEL POPCORN
One of my students brought this to class to share with the kids for a party.The kids devoured it and I liked it so much I got it as a gift for Christmas! EDIT: Please make sure to watch this very closely as you may need to cut back the cooking time depending on the power of your microwave. Also- Please see Mamophet's review. I don't recommend reducing this recipe- If you absolutely must reduce it, please use accurate measurements in order to have edible popcorn. The ratio of popcorn to caramel needs to be maintained and the cooking time should be reduced as well.

EASY MICROWAVE CARAMEL POPCORN
Fast and easy and quite delicious, this is my daughter's favorite and a frequent request. Fortunately, I almost always have the ingredients in the pantry and it takes no time at all to throw together! We take this to every sort of kid-oriented activity for which we need to provide a treat. It makes a nice change from cookies and brownies and always disappears fast.

Steps:
- Pop the popcorn according to the instructions and empty into a large bowl (be sure to remove any unpopped kernels).
- Mix the corn syrup and brown sugar together in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on hight for 3 minutes.
- Stir butter and vanilla into the brown sugar/syrup mixture and stir until the butter is melted.
- Pour over the popcorn and stir until thoroughly coated.
- Spread on cookie sheets (greased or sprayed with cooking spray) and dry until desired hardness. (When hard, I break it up a little more as I put it into the serving bowl to make it truly bite sized.).
- Prep time includes time to pop popcorn (about 3 minute per bag -- I usually measure out everything else while the popcorn's popping). Cooking time includes mixing but does not include drying time; however, that will vary depending on how hard you want your popcorn. We have a tendency to eat it pretty much right away!

Steps:
- Place the popped popcorn into a large brown paper bag. Set aside.
- In a 2 quart casserole dish, or other heat-proof glass dish, combine the brown sugar, margarine, corn syrup, salt and vanilla. Heat for 3 minutes in the microwave, then take out and stir until well blended. Return to the microwave, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from microwave, and stir in the baking soda.
- Pour syrup over the popcorn in the bag. Roll down the top once or twice to close the bag, and shake to coat the corn. Place bag into the microwave, and cook for 1 minute and 10 seconds. Remove, shake, flip the bag over, and return it to the microwave. Cook for another 1 minute and 10 seconds. Dump the popcorn out onto waxed paper, and let cool until coating is set.

Tips:
- Choose the right popcorn for the microwave. Not all popcorn is created equal. Some brands and varieties are better suited for microwaving than others. Look for a popcorn that is specifically labeled for microwave use.
- Use a large enough bowl. When the popcorn pops, it will expand significantly. Make sure you use a bowl that is large enough to accommodate the popped popcorn.
- Don't overcook the popcorn. Microwaves can quickly overcook popcorn, so it's important to keep an eye on it as it cooks. Stop the microwave as soon as the popping slows down to avoid burning the popcorn.
- Add your favorite toppings immediately. Caramel popcorn is delicious on its own, but you can also add your favorite toppings to make it even more special. Some popular toppings include chocolate chips, nuts, and dried fruit.
Conclusion:
Microwave caramel popcorn is a quick and easy snack that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth and it's also a fun activity to do with kids. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious batch of caramel popcorn that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy snack, give microwave caramel popcorn a try.
