This recipe is life-changing for hot sauce lovers! Most people who want hot sauce with their popcorn just dump it on after popping the kernels. But then you have soggy popcorn.

That’s not the case with this recipe! A spicy sweet sauce made in the MICROWAVE (yes you read that correctly) bakes on like caramel corn. It’s an addicting combination!
