QUICK MICROWAVE CARAMEL POPCORN
One of my students brought this to class to share with the kids for a party.The kids devoured it and I liked it so much I got it as a gift for Christmas! EDIT: Please make sure to watch this very closely as you may need to cut back the cooking time depending on the power of your microwave. Also- Please see Mamophet's review. I don't recommend reducing this recipe- If you absolutely must reduce it, please use accurate measurements in order to have edible popcorn. The ratio of popcorn to caramel needs to be maintained and the cooking time should be reduced as well.

- Microwave the popcorn in short intervals, checking and shaking the bowl every 30 seconds to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, stop microwaving to avoid overcooking and burning.
- For a more flavorful caramel sauce, use a combination of brown sugar, white sugar, butter, and vanilla extract.
- To make the caramel sauce smoother, stir it continuously while it's melting in the microwave.
- For a richer caramel sauce, add a pinch of salt or a teaspoon of molasses.
- Toasted peanuts add a delicious crunch to the popcorn. Use unsalted peanuts and toast them in a preheated oven or in a pan on the stovetop.
