Ingredients
  

  • 10 cups popcorn premade, or about 2 bags popped, carefully sorted and kernels removed
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda

Instructions
 

  • Layer the popcorn on a large baking sheet covered with parchment paper, and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter.
  • Add in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt.
  • Heat over medium heat, to boiling. Boil 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and carefully add the vanilla extract. Stir.
  • Add the baking soda, and stir again. Caramel should be light and frothy.
  • Allow the caramel to cool just slightly, and pour over the popcorn.
  • Carefully toss the popcorn with a plastic spoon or spatula, to coat the popcorn with the caramel.
  • Allow the popcorn to set and cool completely.
  • Enjoy!
