• Mix the corn syrup and brown sugar together in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on hight for 3 minutes.
• Stir butter and vanilla into the brown sugar/syrup mixture and stir until the butter is melted.
• Pour over the popcorn and stir until thoroughly coated.
• Spread on cookie sheets (greased or sprayed with cooking spray) and dry until desired hardness. (When hard, I break it up a little more as I put it into the serving bowl to make it truly bite sized.).
• Prep time includes time to pop popcorn (about 3 minute per bag -- I usually measure out everything else while the popcorn's popping). Cooking time includes mixing but does not include drying time; however, that will vary depending on how hard you want your popcorn. We have a tendency to eat it pretty much right away!
