Caramel Popcorn

3 bags of microwave popcorn, butter flavor, popped, kernels removed
1 c butter
2 c packed brown sugar
1/2 c light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 250.  Lightly grease a 12x18 pan or 2 13x9 pans.  Spread popped popcorn (kernels removed) over the pan.  In a medium sauce pan, melt butter, brown sugar and corn syrup.  Bring to a light boil (stir constantly!!!) and remove from heat.  Then add vanilla and baking soda, stir well.  Pour evenly over popcorn and toss lightly to combine.  Bake for 1 hr, stirring the popcorn and caramel at 20 mins and again at 40 mins.  Let cool in pan and remove, breaking popcorn apart.  Soak pan in hot soapy water for easier clean up.
