I use a hot air popper. Melt one stick of margarine in the microwave in a med.-large bowl. Add 1 c. brown sugar, stir well and cook 2 minutes on High. Add 1/4 c. white corn syrup, stir and cook 2 1/2 minutes on High. Take out and, while mixture is boiling, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir and pour over popcorn in bag. Fold down the top of the bag and put it in the microwave. Cook it on High for 4 minutes altogether, but take it out and shake it every 45 seconds. Shake it good! At the end of 4 minutes, pour in onto a couple of cookie sheets to cool. This is a favorite of my two teenagers, but my husband and I eat our share, too. 8-) Denise in TN [log in to unmask]
