 Put 3-1/2 Liters popped corn in a large paper bag (no unpopped kernels).


 Take margarine, brown sugar, salt and cornsyrup and place in microwave-safe


 dish.  Microwave 2 min, stir and repeat.  (If you put this recipe to music,


 that would be the chorus.) Add 1/2 t baking powder, stir it in the mixture,


 and pour over popcorn in the bag.  Close and shake, Microwave 2 min, shake


 and repeat.


 


 In these days of plastic grocery bags, I have sometimes been reduced to


 making it in a very large microwavable bowl, which is much more difficult.


 


 One time, when out of brown sugar, and desperate for some kind of candied


 popcorn, I used white sugar, and added a couple teaspoons of cinnamon.  It


 worked wonderfully, as the candy coating cooks to a crunchy shell in the


 microwave (that is, if you let it cool before eating it.)  I expect you


 could add any flavoring or colors you wanted with good results.
