Great caramel popcorn for any holiday or occasion. If you like chewy popcorn, bake less.

Ingredients

Yields 20 servings

Step 1

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place popcorn in a very large bowl.
Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in soda and vanilla. Pour in a thin stream over popcorn, stirring to coat.
Step 3

Place in two large shallow baking dishes and bake in preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool completely before breaking into pieces.
