I cut the recipe in half, which turned out to be a bad idea at first. The first time I add the sweetened condensed milk right away and by the time it was almost done it was burnt in the bowl and smoke all over the house. The second time I made it correctly and in the last minute it was burning again. Once again smoke all over the house. The third time was a charm. Since I cut the recipe in half, I decided to cut the cooking time in half and it turned out great. Thanks for the recipe, and for anyone that decides to cut the recipe in half, cut the cooking time in half also. Excellent recipe!!!

Wonderful. I expected it to be a little more caramel-ly, but it still tasted great! Will make again. Thanks! Edit: This is my favorite and ONLY caramel popcorn recipe. After trying this again, I fell in love! So simple, so quick! I make this regularly, as it has become one of our favorite snacks. I have forgotten the vanilla on occasion, and it still tastes great. I have also halved the recipe, and that works as well. The only thing with this is be sure you use exact measurements, otherwise it will either be to "crispy" or really runny. Thanks for this GREAT snack!
