EASY MICROWAVE CARAMEL POPCORN
I started making this a few years ago right around halloween. I've made it the more "complicated" way, but always come back to the ease of preparation in this recipe.

Steps:
- 1. Place popcorn in a large microwave-safe glass bowl, set aside.
- 2. In another glass bowl, microwave the butter until melted, about 45 seconds. Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup. Microwave on high until mixture boils, 1 to 3 minutes, stirring once, then on high for 3 minutes without stirring. Remove bowl and stir in soda and vanilla.
- 3. Pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn and stir until most of the popcorn is coated. Microwave on 70% power for 1 minute. Remove and stir, then microwave at 70% for 1 more minute. Remove and stir again to coat popcorn evenly. Pour popcorn onto wax paper and cool completely, about ten minutes. Break apart and serve, or store in an airtight container.
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!
