Directions- -Preheat oven to 300 degrees
-Pop popcorn and place popcorn in a very large bowl. (I used two bowls and it was barely enough room to stir!)
-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 over popcorn and stir to coat.
-Place popcorn in two large shallow baking dishes and bake in preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, for 45 minutes. (I had a hard time with this, so I just left it alone.)
-Remove from oven, stir one more time and let cool completely before breaking into pieces.

Since I used my air popper, I tried to judge the correct amount but I think I had too much popcorn. This is why I didn't really feel it too necessary to stir the caramel corn while it was baking in the oven. It worked out well though, because A- There was more to eat all by myself share, and B- It wasn't overpoweringly sweet since the popcorn wasn't completely covered in caramel (although, I wouldn't be complaining if it was!)
