For a deeper caramel flavor, use dark brown sugar.
Ensure your microwave-safe bowl is large enough, as the mixture will expand when the baking soda is added.
Store in an airtight container to maintain maximum crispness.
Consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the cooled mixture for an enhanced salty-sweet contrast.
Different microwave ovens may vary in power. Adjust the cooking times accordingly. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
For a festive touch, consider adding holiday-themed sprinkles after the final microwave and before cooling.
