Place popcorn in a large bowl. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt butter; whisk in the pudding mix, corn syrup, vanilla and salt until smooth. Microwave, uncovered, for 45 seconds or until bubbly. Pour over popcorn; tossed to coat. Spread in a greased 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan. Bake at 250 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until crisp, stirring once. Remove popcorn from pan to waxed paper to cool. Break into clusters. Store in airtight containers.
