Ooey Gooey Caramel Popcorn

I found this recipe in the comments of Real mom Kitchen! She was looking for a ooey gooey caramel corn recipe and a lady gave her this one! I tried it and it was really good and messy! Next time I will make sure and get all the hard kernels out though!!
Caramel Corn
from barbarabakes.blogspot.com

8 cups popped corn (about 1/2 cup unpopped)
(I used a little more than that and it was still gooey!)
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1 tsp white vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter

Measure popped corn into large bowl. Combine sugars, corn syrup, water, vinegar and salt in 2-quart sauce pan. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Cook, stirring constantly after boiling, to 260 degrees on candy thermometer (or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a hard ball).

Reduce heat to low; stir in butter until melted. Pour syrup in thin stream over popcorn in bowl, stirring until popcorn is well coated. Spread mixture on baking sheet. Cool!
