Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Pop the popcorn kernels according to package directions and place in a large mixing bowl.
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract.
The solution will foam up.
Pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn and toss with a spatula until evenly coated.
Spread the popcorn in an even layer on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the caramel for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden and crisp.
Allow to cool completely after removing from the oven.
Before serving, top with toasted chopped nuts if desired.
