Quick and Easy Homemade Caramel Corn

1. Place the popcorn in a brown paper bag. Fold top over a few times and tape it.

2. Place in the microwave, folded side up, and microwave 2-3 minutes, or until there are 5 seconds between pops.

3. Pour popcorn into a large mixing bowl, throwing out any unpopped kernels. Set aside.

4. Spray a medium-sized sauce pan and wooden spoon with cooking oil. Add the butter, sugar, and agave. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until mixture reaches a boil and sugar is completely dissolved.

5. Remove from heat and add in the vanilla, peanuts, salt, and baking soda.

6. Spray 2 spoons with cooking oil and slowly pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn, using the spoons to stir and coat the popcorn.

7. Carefully place popcorn back into the paper bag (or a new one is fine). Fold the top over and tape. Microwave another 30 seconds.

8. Spread caramel corn onto a lined baking sheet to cool. Serve.
