Ingredients

7 quarts Popcorn about 30 cups of popped popcorn or 2 1/2 bags of microwave popcorn, plain, popped
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup , (I use homemade)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup butter unsalted
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Cup of Yum

Place the popped popcorn into two large baking pans.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring enough to blend. Boil for 3-4 minutes while stirring constantly.
Remove from the heat, and stir in the baking soda and vanilla. This should cause the mixture to bubble rapidly.
Immediately pour over the popcorn in the pans, and stir to coat.
It is okay if the popcorn isn't completely coated yet, the oven will help out.
Bake for 45 minutes but stir the popcorn every fifteen minutes.
When it comes out of the oven, try to separate the pieces as much as you can before it cools completely. Enjoy!
