Yummy Caramel Corn

2 C brown sugar
2 sticks margarine
1/2 C light corn syrup
1 t. baking soda
1 t. vanilla
1 t. salt

Pop enough popcorn kernels to make 2 gallons of popcorn (I fill two 9 X 13 pans). (see hint below)

Boil first 3 ingredients for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add remaining three ingredients. Pour over popcorn in large shallow pan (I use two 9 X 13 pans) and bake at 250° for 40 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on wax paper until cool. Break up and store in gallon baggies (fills two of them).

Hint: I use the Nordicware microwave popcorn bowl and pop one scoop (1/4 cup) at a time for 1 min 45 seconds. I do this four times. It's also good to sift out any leftover kernels so there are no broken teeth!
