Carmel Popcorn

Prefect treat for Family Home Evening or a picnic.
10-12 cups freshly popped popcorn
1/2 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Place popcorn in a lightly greased large bowl; set aside.
Place butter in a large (at least 6 cup) bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Microwave for 4 minutes.
Remove from microwave and stir in vanilla and baking soda. Pour over popcorn and stir until all is coated and no sugar mixture remains on the bottom of bowl.
Spread popcorn mixture evenly over a cookie sheet and bake in 350 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes. Or if in a hurry, microwave for 2-3 minutes, stirring each minute.
Cool and break up into pieces. Store in airtight container.
