This easy caramel popcorn is great to munch on while watching a movie! Thanks to your microwave it comes together in a snap!
Gotta love those family movie nights, right! Everybody snuggled up on the couch to watch a movie and eating popcorn together. So awesome! Here is my easy caramel popcorn recipe. The microwave makes this super fast and easy. It takes 10 minutes start to eat. Super easy and super addictive. Enjoy!!!
After you have popped the popcorn, make the caramel sauce. For the caramel sauce, I use a 4 cup glass measuring cup and microwave the ingredients. I wouldn’t use anything less than a 4 cup measuring cup because it will boil over. You can also do this step in a pan on the stove if you would rather. Anyway, combine the butter, brown sugar, salt and corn syrup in the 4 cup glass measuring cup or microwave safe bowl of your choice. Here is the important part. DO NOT add the baking soda yet!!!! Place the measuring cup full of ingredients in the microwave. Heat until the butter is mostly melted and stir it up. Microwave again on high for about 3 minutes allowing the caramel to boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the microwave and add the baking soda. As you can see below, the baking soda causes a chemical reaction of sorts which is kinda cool. Pour over the popcorn and stir until all the pieces are well coated. Eat and enjoy!
