Caramel Popcorn

5-6 cups popped popcorn
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup margarine or butter (1/2 a stick)
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/4 tsp. salt

Directions: In a saucepan on medium heat, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, salt and margarine; stirring constantly. Cook until the margarine is melted and the mixture begins to boil. Continue to stir and boil the mixture for exactly one minute. Pour the hot syrup over the popped popcorn in a large bowl. Continue to toss lightly to cover the popcorn with all the syrup. While the mixture is still warm, form the caramel popcorn into balls. Allow the popcorn balls to cool slightly and then wrap them in plastic wrap. Yield: 4-5 popcorn balls
