Way back when my this blog was a baby (or maybe a toddler? Technically it was like a year old. Which, did you know this blog has been around since 2009? WEIRD. But, I digress.) I wrote a post about making caramel popcorn. While that post was good and all, I thought I’d repost it with some new pictures for all you newer readers out there. You can thank me later, because this easy microwave caramel popcorn will change your life forever.
This recipe is ridiculously easy. There are only four ingredients, and it tastes like Heaven!
All you need is one whole stick of butter (obviously you can tell it’s good by this alone, right?), a big ol’ bowl of air popped popcorn (I’ve been told using salted microwave popcorn works well, too!), a cup of marshmallows (plus a few extras for good measure) and a cup of brown sugar.
Really!
That’s it!
I’m not even kidding you right there.
Gathering the ingredients is the hardest part. Seriously.
Okay, so first things first! Pop a big bowl of popcorn.
While you are doing that, you can start on your caramel. Just stick your cube of butter in a bowl and microwave it for one minute.
Once the butter is all good and melty, add in a cup of brown sugar (I like to stir it in) and microwave it again for another minute.
Give that a good stir, then add in your cup (and a little bit) of marshmallows and then throw it in the microwave for another, you guessed it, minute.
At this point, it’ll look a little weird and you’ll probably wonder what the heck you’re even doing with your life. But don’t fret for too long. Because here’s where it all comes together!
Stir that microwaved concoction like your life depends on it, and it’ll turn into this beautiful ooey-gooey caramel.
Once that’s done, just pour it over your popcorn and stir it in until every piece is covered with perfection.
Let me know if you try this out! It is seriously one of my family’s favorite treats to make.
