    List of Ingredients




    1 t Vegetable Oil
    1/2 C light Corn Syrup
    3/4 C light Brown Sugar
    1/2 C Water
    1/2 t Salt
    1/4 t Vanilla Extract
    1 bag 94% fat-free microwave Popcorn

    Recipe



    Combine the oil, corn syrup, brown sugar, water,
    and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat.
    Stir while bringing mixture to a boil.
    Use a candy thermometer to bring mixture to 300º.
    (Also know as the hard crack stage to candy makers).
    When the candy reaches about 275º, start cooking the popcorn by following the directions on the package.
    You want to time it so that the popcorn is done at approximately the same time as the candy. This way, the popcorn will be hot when you pour the candy over it.
    When the candy has reached the right temperature, add
    the vanilla, then remove it from the heat.
    Pour the hot popcorn into a large plastic or glass bowl
    and quickly pour the candy over the top.
    Stir the popcorn so that the candy coats all of the pieces.
    To better help the candy coat the popcorn, place the bowl into the microwave and zap it for about 30 seconds on high.
    Stir the popcorn, and then, if necessary, microwave it for another 30 seconds. Stir it once more.
    By this time, the popcorn should be very well coated
    with a thin layer of the candy.
    Quickly pour the popcorn out onto wax paper and
    spread it around to cool it.
    When the candy is cool, break it into bite-size pieces.
    Store it in a sealed container
