For best results, use freshly popped popcorn. Be careful when removing the caramel mixture from the microwave, as it will be very hot. Ensure the brown paper bag is microwave-safe and doesn't have any metallic printing or handles. If you prefer a softer caramel, reduce the second microwave time slightly. Store the caramel popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
