Caramel Corn

6 c. popped popcorn (try to get all the unpopped kernals out)
1/2 c toasted almonds (optional)
3/4 c firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c butter
2 tbsp light corn syrup
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda

Microwave directions:
1. In a large microwave safe bowl, combine popcorn and almonds. In a 4- cup microwave safe measuring cup, combine corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, and salt. Mix well.
2. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir; microwave on high for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture comes to a rolling boil.
3. Stir in Baking soda until well mixed. Immediately pour over the popcorn and almonds until coated.
4. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Immediately spread on foil or waxed paper.

I have left off step 3 and 4. I did not add the baking soda and just poured the mixture over the popcorn and left in bowl. It tasted the same to me!
