The most delicious caramel popcorn!

My friend makes this and it is absolutely fantastic. It stays soft and chewy and doesn't get hard. I love it. Watch out though, it can be addicting!

1 cup corn syrup
2 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 T vanilla
2 gallons popped corn

In a large saucepan bring corn syrup, brown sugar, and
salt to a boil. Add butter and return to boil. Add
sweetened condensed milk, stiring constantly until it
reaches soft ball stage (228 degrees). Remove from
burner. Stir in vanilla. Let cool slightly. Divide
popcorn into two parts and lay on two greased cookie
sheets. Pour equal amounts of caramel over each. Stir
gently until coated. Can be formed into popcorn balls
if desired. Allow to set for about two hours.

We just made the popcorn this morning. It is so good. I have to admit though, I would eat the caramel alone if possible. So good!
