By jannycerv

Ingredients

• 1 c. brown sugar
• 1/2 c. butter
• 1/4 c. light corn syrup
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 2 (4 qt.) saucepans of popped corn

Preparation

Step 1

Combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt in a 2- to 2 1/2-quart microwave-safe saucepan or dish; bring to a boil, then cook on HIGH for 2 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir in the baking soda. The mixture will become foamy. Then pour the popped corn into a large grocery bag (paper) and pour syrup over the corn. Close the bag and shake. Cook in bag on HIGH in microwave for 1 minute. Take out and shake. Cook another 1 minute and shake again. Cook another 1 minute; pour into a pan and allow to cool. This will become hard and crunchy.
