Caramel Corn

16 cups popped popcorn (this is approximately 1/2 cup unpopped kernels)

1 cube butter

1 c. brown sugar

1/4 c. corn syrup

1/2 t. baking soda

In a sauce pan combine butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Cook over low to medium heat, stirring constantly. When mixture begins to cling together and pull away from pan (about 15 minutes), remove from heat. Stir in baking soda. Mixture should look kind of foamy. Put popcorn into a large brown paper grocery bag. Pour caramel over top and stir a bit. Fold top of bag and place in microwave. Cook for 1 minute on high. Remove and stir. Fold over top again and cook for 1 minute and 10 seconds on high. Remove and stir. Pour out onto wax paper and spread out to cool.
