Caramel Popcorn

**This is a family favorite snack and really easy to make**

Caramel Popcorn
3 bags microwave popcorn - popped and all kernels removed
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup light karo syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda

In a large saucepan, bring the butter, brown sugar salt and karo syrup to a boil.

Once it has reached a boil let it boil for 3-4 minutes for more chewy carmel corn or 5-6 minutes for more crunchy carmel corn. Make sure to set a timer and let it cook the entire time after it has begun to boil. Turn heat off after boiling the desired time. Add the vanilla and baking soda. **BE CAREFUL.....The vanilla will make it spit out at you**

Put all the popcorn in a LARGE stock pan. Pour caramel mixture over popcorn and stir until evenly coated.

Lay out on wax paper to cool. You can baggy up the popcorn after it has cooled.

Enjoy!
