Step 1

Preheat oven to 225F.

Step 2

Place popped popcorn on two large baking sheets or roasting pans and divided nuts among the two pans.

Step 3

Salt the popcorn.

Step 4

In a large saucepan bring butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup to a boil, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Let boil for 5 min. on medium heat without stirring.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla and baking soda.

Step 7

Pour over the popcorn and stir to coat.

Step 8

Place the pans in the oven. If they both don't fit you will have to bake one and then the other or you can halve the recipe.

Step 9

Stir every 10 min. so that the mixture does not burn. Bake for 1 hour. Let cool completely and then store in Ziploc bags or sealed containers. Yum!!
