Amber's Caramel Popcorn

I'm not a fan of crunchy caramel popcorn. This recipe is soft and chewy!! It keeps well in a covered container for a couple of days and stays chewy. It's so simple and easy, it's going to be difficult for me to NOT make this every day. Thanks for the scrumptious recipe, Amber!

My kids now affectionately call this "sticky popcorn."

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 pkg marshmallows
6 quarts popped popcorn

DIRECTIONS:

1. Melt butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium low heat.
   
2. Add marshmallows, stirring constantly until melted through. Do not boil.
   
3. Pour mixture in layers over popped corn. Use a large wooden spoon to coat evenly.
