["Have a large paper bag handy, spread some wax paper on your table, grab your ingredients and here we go!", "Melt butter with brown sugar and corn syrup in a 2 quart glass bowl in the microwave for about 1 minute. Stirl well and continue cooking the caramel to 310-320 degrees. This will take about 3 minutes (depending on your microwave) - stir every minute to blend the butter in evenly. The caramel must get to hard crack stage. I have a microwave thermometer that I use to test the temperature., but you can also test it by dripping a bit of the caramel into a cup of cold water.", "Add in the baking soda and stir - this will cause the caramel to expand and get \"fluffy\""! This may be what makes it addicting.""
