{Caramel Popcorn}

I LOVE caramel popcorn! My absolute favorite is my grandma's recipe, but it takes forever to make, so when I have no time, but want yummy caramel popcorn, I use this quick and easy recipe.
You will need:
1 Bag of microwave popcorn
1/2 cup of butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
10 large marshmallows




Prepare popcorn in microwave according to package directions.
Then melt together butter, brown sugar, and marshmallows.
While the ingredients are melting, you can sift out the kernels from the popcorn.
Once the butter, brown sugar and marshmallows are all melted together, you pour it over the popcorn and mix together!



Now you have a Yummy treat!
