Homemade Caramel Popcorn

The fourth dimension has come! It's finally here…. Fall TV Premieres! (You were expecting something else? Hey it's the niggling things people!) I have a love for TV. I know it and I encompass information technology. And my love for all things Fall, includes the Tv set prove premieres. And so as we were going to exist sitting down for the new testify lineups, we of form needed a slap-up snack to munch while nosotros watched! Popcorn fits that bill perfectly… but non merely any popcorn!

Nosotros beloved popcorn around hither. Koa asks for information technology all the time every bit his snack, and information technology's mode better than a cookie, then I can't say no. So nosotros always have popcorn in the firm. I practise the pre-packaged microwave popcorn in a compression, but in that location actually is nothing better than homemade popping corn. And so easy, so cheap, and and so expert.

Even so, this event called for much more than than obviously erstwhile "Popcorn." Information technology called for fancy popcorn. Like… homemade caramel popcorn! Information technology's easier than it sounds I promise.

For the popcorn:

All you need is Popping Corn (popcorn kernels) and a paper pocketbook. And a microwave. Seriously.

All you practice: Put the popping kernels in the newspaper bag (for my recipe below I did almost a 1/two cup, only you lot may wnat to divide it into two batches if you have smaller paper numberless). Fold the top of the handbag down a few times to close. Put in the microwave and cook for about 2 minutes, (or until pops are v seconds apart). That's it! When it's done you can add melted butter, or salt, or Parmesan cheese, or maybe my caramel in the recipe beneath….

*Yous can admittedly use regular bags of microwave popcorn, just try to use obviously or calorie-free butter.
