Ingredients

2 (12 ounce) bags plain popped popcorn
1 cup margarine
2 cups packed brown sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
Pour popcorn into a large roasting pan or lasagna pan.
Melt margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract and baking soda until mixture is light and foamy. Pour over popcorn and mix well.
Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, until a cooled piece of popcorn is crunchy, about 1 hour.
