Caramel Corn

1 lb. pkg. brown sugar
1 cup Karo syrup
1/4 lb. butter or margarine
1/2 tsp. salt
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla
6 quarts popcorn; popped

Mix together sugar, syrup, butter and salt. Bring to a boil. When boiling starts, add milk. Cook to soft ball stage*, stirring constantly. Add vanilla. Remove from heat and pour evenly over popcorn. Mix until evenly coated.

*Soft ball stage is when you drop some caramel into a glass of cold water and it forms a ball, but does not completely harden.
