LYNNE’S CARAMEL CORN

1 cup butter 2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup 1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 quarts air-popped popcorn

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place popcorn in a very large bowl.
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.
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.
I never leave it in the oven for the whole hour. I always take it out after 30 minutes (if you like it chewy) or 45 minutes (for a little harder deliciousness).
