Amy's Easy Caramel Corn

- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 sticks butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 bags popped hulless popcorn (in the snack food section)
Coat a large roasting pan with nonstick cooking spray and place both bags of popcorn in pan.
Bring corn syrup, brown sugar and butter to a boil over medium-high heat in a saucepan, and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla, salt and baking soda.
Pour caramel mixture over popcorn and stir. Place in oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool and enjoy. Unbelievably yummy!
