3 1/2 liters popped corn 
 1/2 cup melted margarine
 1 cup brown sugar
 1/2 t salt
 1/4 cup cornsyrup
 1/2 t baking powder
 Put 3 1/2 L popped corn in a large paper bag (no unpopped kernels)
 Combine margarine, sugar, salt and corn syrup.  Microwave 2 minutes,
 stir and repeat.
 Add baking powder, stir it in the mixture, and pour over popcorn
 in the bag.
 Close and shake, Microwave 2 min, shake and repeat.
 One time, when out of brown sugar, and desperate for some kind of
 candied popcorn, I used white sugar, and added a couple teaspoons
 of cinnamon.  It worked wonderfully, as the candy coating cooks to
 a crunchy shell in the microwave.  You could add any flavoring or
 colors you wanted with good results.
