    A new twist on microwave caramel corn

    Reply Contact

    The recipe I've always used. (below)
    Instead of 1 cup brown sugar, I used regular sugar, and added 1 pkg Raspberry  unsweetened Kool-Aid.  It is really good.


    1/2 cup popcorn (I use 2 bags microwave popcorn)
    Put popped corn in a large clean grocery bag.

    1 stick butter
    1 cup brown sugar
    1/4 cup karo syrup
    1 tsp. vanilla
    Cook in microwave on high 4 minutes.(I use my 6 cup glass measure with a spout, so it's easier to pour)
    Add 1/2 tsp bkg. soda. Stir til foamy. Pour syrup over popped corn in paper bag. Shake, fold top of bag down, and microwave 1 min., take out shake again and microwave 1 min. more. Pour into bowl. I've never had a problem with this recipe.

    Thank you!  I just made your original caramel corn recipe and it is very, very good.  It is nice because you make in the microwave so it is much quicker than the ones you make in the oven.  I really, really like this. 

    I will try your kool aid recipe too.

    Have a great day.

    I have always made me carmel corn in the microwave and always put in white sugar rather than brown....It is so slick to do.  I know some purists will write and say not to use a paper bag, but we've done it for years, and here we are!

    I forgot to mention that I omit the vanilla when I use the Kool Aid.   I've made raspberry and strawberry so far.  I really like them both.  I'm going to use the blueberry tomorrow when the grandkids stop over.  I'm sure they'll like it.
