Notes
-
- If you prefer, you can do the whole process in a microwave-safe bowl while making microwave caramel corn, just stirring the popcorn instead of shaking. The brown paper bag does make clean up a lot easier!
-
- You can dress up your carmel corn by adding a 1-2 tsps of cinnamon sugar to the bag when you pull it out of the microwave. Give it a good shake and you have snickerdoodle caramel popcorn.
-
- While the caramel corn is cooling on the wax paper, just drizzle melted white chocolate on top for white chocolate caramel cor
