How to Make Super Easy Caramel Corn
- Measure 1/4 cup popcorn kernels and place them in a brown paper lunch bag. Fold the top over a few times.
- Microwave on high using the popcorn setting. Listen for the popping to slow down, then remove immediately.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 10 ounces (about 3 cups) mini marshmallows.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Carefully pour the caramel mixture over the popped popcorn. Gently toss with a large spoon or spatula until the popcorn is evenly coated.
- Spread the caramel corn in a single layer on a large piece of wax paper to cool and harden.
- Once completely cool and dry (about 30-60 minutes), break apart any large clumps and store in an airtight container.
