!!!!!!Warning!!!!!!
Get yourself a small bowl or you will eat the whole recipe.

As a huge fan of popcorn, I have been looking for the perfect caramel popcorn recipe. Well here it is! Enjoy

Caramel Popcorn by Shirley Ferre

16 cups popped popcorn (about 3/4 cup for my popper)
Large grocery sack or large bowl
1/4 c margarine or butter
1 c brown sugar (or white)
1/4 c corn syrup
1/2 t salt
1/2 t baking soda
1 t vanilla or 1/2 t other flavoring

Place popcorn in a lare grocery sack or large bowl.
Put butter, sugar, and corn syrup in a bowl and cook in microwave for 3 min on 50% power
or 2 minutes full power. Stir after each minute. Stir well. Add salt, baking soda, and flavoring and stir well. Pour over popcorn and stir well.
Close bag by folding the top over. Cook in microwave on high for 2 min or 3 min on 50%
power. Shake or stir after each minute. Be sure it doesn't burn. Pour onto cookie sheet
to cool. Separate kernels and store in airtight container.

Can make different flavors and mix in the container, also good with a bag of buttered popcorn
mixed in.

I've been using a recipe very much like this (if not quite identical) for years. It's always very popular and is SUPER yummy :)
