Caramel Popcorn

Our Young Women had a little recipe swap tonight, and it made me realize what a slacker I have been about posting recipes. When you never feel like cooking (thank you pregnancy) you don't think about recipes much. Anyway, this caramel popcorn is a family favorite and really easy to make. But, be warned, it is utterly addicting, so make sure you have somebody to share it with if you don't want to eat it all yourself!

5 quarts popped popcorn
10 oz. bag of mini-marshmallows
2 sticks (1 c.) butter
1 1/3 c. sugar
½ c. light Karo syrup
½ tsp. vanilla

Pop popcorn. Mix marshmallows with popcorn. Mix butter, sugar and Karo syrup in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Add to popcorn and marshmallows. Mix together and form into balls/shapes/etc or be lazy like me and eat it straight from the bowl!
