½ Cup unpopped popcorn
2 Cups brown sugar
½ Cups corn syrup
1 Cup margarine
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon soda

Pop the popcorn and set aside. Combine sugar, syrup, margarine, and salt in pan and bring to boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Then stir in soda. Pour over popped corn (may add 1 cup peanuts at this point) and mix well. Spread out on cookie sheet and bake at 225 for 1 hour to dry.
