Easy + Fast + Yummy
Too EFY not to share...this took about 5 minutes to pull together.
10 minutes later we were eating it.
Paper Bag (microwave) Caramel Corn
Place 8-10 cups popped corn into a paper bag.
Place 8-10 cups popped corn into a paper bag.Place the following in a glass bowl:
1 cube butter (no fakes)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup karo syrup
1/2 tsp salt
Microwave until you see it boiling - let it boil for 1 minute.
Stop and stir.
Microwave for 1 more minute (boiling).
Add 1 tsp baking soda and stir - will turn opaque and taffy-like.
Dump over popcorn in paper bag.
Shake well.
Place bag in microwave and cook for 90 seconds.
Shake again.
Cook for 90 more seconds if you like it crunchy - I opted out for chewy.
Let cool for a few minutes, but dump out of bag before completely cool so it doesn't stick to the paper. I dumped onto waxed paper.
Enjoy.
If you use microwave popcorn that may already have salt in it, use less or no salt (I hav enot tested the "less or no" yet. But I made as instructed and it was fast and easy...just a little salty...
ReplyDeleteI used air popped corn, but good call on the salty microwave stuff. Also, if you use salted butter (like I did) you might want to cut the salt.
