Perfect is all I can say! I followed the directions exactly as listed and perfection was the result. The only thing I would change is to not make too much popcorn because it doesn't coat it as well. I made over 2 gallons and my popcorn doesn't look as evenly coated as in Marsha D.'s photo. I think that I would use about 1 1/2 gallons next time. And there will be a next time!! Thanks!!

    Oh My GOODNESS!!! This stuff rocks! It take a little time and it's hard to be patient for it to cook (once you know how awesome it tastes!) but it's SO worth it! We had a movie night with a small group and had to bring our favorite popcorn, I tried this one (tried margarine one time, nope) for the family first. Then made again and again for a birthday, my "trials" were 4 different batches! When I finally made it for the movie night it was gone lickety split! The other "caramel popcorn" made in the micro, was hardly touched. I'll keep this forever!

    Thank you Carol We loved this recipe & can't wait to see mom's reaction when she tastes it. Stirring constantly, I brought the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup & salt (1 teaspoon) mixture to a boil. Then I let it boil untouched for about 4-5 minutes. Off the heat I added the baking soda & vanilla. And then poured it over the popped corn & mixed like crazy! I used 2 greased baking sheets & every 15 minutes I tossed & mixed the popcorn up. It was very simple to make & an easy clean up (use vegetable spray & there is very little stick). I will try it again with maple syrup (shame on me, I live in maple syrup country & have run out!)
