Place 4 quarts of popped popcorn in brown paper bag (like the ones from the grocery store).
Melt 1 stick of butter in glass bowl or casserole dish (lid is recommended but optional).
Add brown sugar, light Karo syrup, salt to bowl/dish. Mix well.

Fold down bag (to fit in your microwave) place in microwave and nuke for 1.5 minutes.
