Cinnamon Bear Popcorn

It sounds weird, but it is delicious!!  I got this recipe from someone in a previous ward and she brought it to every event and it was always a hit.  Now that I am in a new ward, I have brought this to some activities and now I am the big hit. :)

2 large bowls of popcorn, popped
2 cubes butter
1 1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups mini marshmallows
1 1-lb. bag cinnamon bears, cut into thirds
several drops red food coloring
1 (9.25 oz) can cashew pieces

Fill 2 large bowls 2/3 full of popped popcorn.  Set aside. In a large saucepan add: butter, sugar, and corn syrup.  Bring to a boil.  Turn down heat and cook sauce an additional 5 minutes. Turn off heat and add vanilla and food coloring; stir.  And mini marshmallows, chopped cinnamon bears, and cashews; stir until marshmallows melt slightly.  Pour 1/2 of mixture on each bowl of popcorn and stir until popcorn is evenly coated.  Don't panic! It will coat the popcorn, you just have to keep stirring, Don't panic - just stir!!
