10 cups low fat microwave popped popcorn
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Spray a large baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.

  • Remove and discard unpopped kernels from popcorn and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar, molasses, water and stir to mix well.

  • Boil stirring constantly for 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat.
  • With a wooden spoon, stir in vanilla. Mix well.
