Microwave Caramel Popcorn

10 marshmallows
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 pkg microwave popcorn

Cook popcorn in microwave and leave in bag. Put other ingredients in a microwave dish and cook 1 minute. Stir and cook in 30 second increments until melted. Put popcorn in a bowl (I shake the bag so the seeds go to the bottom and then try not to let any get in the bowl). Pour caramel mixture over the top and stir.
