Caramel Popcorn

I love carmel popcoran and this recipe is delicious.  It's chewy and soft.  I bet it would be great with almonds or pecans.

1 c corn for popping or 3 bags microwave popcorn
2 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup light corn syrup
1 can sweet and condensed milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Pop popcorn and shake bowl to get unpopped kernels to bottom of bowl.  Remove all unpopped kernels.

Mix brown sugar, butter and corn syrup in 4 qt saucepan. Bring to a boil stirring constantly.

Heat until it reaches soft crack stage (270-290 degrees).  Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients.

I like to stir it often as it cools down and place it in a bag.  I also break it upafter it's in the bag because it makes it easier to eat.
