Pop your popcorn according to package directions. Transfer it to a large brown paper bag, sifting out the kernels. Set aside.
-
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, mix the sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Microwave on high for one minute, stir, and then microwave for one more minute, stirring again.
-
Add the baking soda, mixing completely, and then quickly pour over the popcorn. Shake the bag vigorously, so as to coat the popcorn with caramel.
-
Fold the top of the bag over a few times and then microwave for one minute. Remove the bag {It's hot! Be careful.} and shake the bag and return to the microwave. Microwave for one more minute and then shake again. {It's really hot this time, so be really careful.}

Pour popcorn onto wax paper and let cool completely, breaking apart as desired.
