2 cups brown sugar

half cup corn syrup

1 tsp salt

half tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla

5 quarts popped popcorn

preheat oven at 250. place popcorn in large bowl. grease baking dishes. in medium saucepan melt butter. stir in brown sugar corn syrup and salt. mix well and stir until boiling. boil without stirring for 4 min. remove from heat and stir in vanilla and soda. puor over popcorn and stir to coat. place in baking dishes and cook in preheated oven. stir every 15 minutes for 1 hour. remove from oven and put back in large bowl. stir it until it cools down. this prevents it from clumping together.
