Directions

Step #1 Place butter or margarine in a 8 c measure or large microwavable bowl.
Step #2 Microwave at high for 30-45 seconds, or until melted.
Step #3 Stir in brown sugar, peanuts(optional) & corn syrup.
Step #4 Insert candy thermometer.
Step #5 Microwave at high for 3-4 mins, or until mixture reaches 280 degrees (soft crack stage).
Step #6 (Note- this is where the mixture can overcook - so watch carefully).
Step #7 Mix in vanilla, baking soda & salt.
Step #8 Place prepared popcorn in large bowl.
Step #9 Pour hot mixture quickly over popcorn, stirring to coat.
Step #10 Microwave at high for 2 mins, stirring after half the time.
Step #11 Stir again.
Step #12 Cool for about 30 mins.
Step #13 Stirring every once in awhile to break apart.
Step #14 I find it helpful, to spread caramel corn on a cookie sheet to cool.
Step #15 It cools much faster & is easier to break apart.
