Microwave Caramel Popcorn

The kids and I were craving caramel popcorn, but I had no time to make it before we headed out for our camping trip.  Once we got there though, it was on.  We are in love with this simple and cheap popcorn.  I was hesitant because I didn't want my caramel popcorn to have a marshmallow taste, but it doesn't add that taste at all.

1 bag of microwave popcorn
1/4 C butter
1/2 C brown sugar
3/4 C miniature marshmallows

Pop the popcorn and put in a bowl.
Place butter, brown sugar, and marshmallows in microwave proof bowl, microwave for 2 minutes.
Stir well and pour over popcorn
*We didn't have mini marshmallows in the trailer, so we used 5-6 regular sized marshmallows.  Just make sure and really watch them because they tend to expand and hop out of your bowl.  I had to stir the sauce every 30 seconds or so just to try to keep them contained.
