Microwave Caramel Corn

Ingredients:
one quart plain popcorn
1 cube butter or margarine
1 C brown sugar
1/4 C light karo corn syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Pop one quart of popcorn in an old fashioned popper or microwave popper - anything so long as it is plain. Transfer to a paper bag, making sure there are no seeds.

In a 4 cup microwave safe bowl, combine one stick butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup white Karo syrup, and 1/2 t salt. Microwave for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Make sure it comes to a really good boil.

Remove from microwave, and stir in baking soda until foamy. Pour on top of popcorn in bag, and shake well. Microwave for one and a half minutes. Remove and shake again. Microwave for another 30 seconds. Spread on wax paper to cool.
