Caramel Popcorn by Micah

Micah had a hankering for caramel popcorn the other night and, since I've never made it before, he found a recipe online and made some. It was SOOOOO yummy - and super easy!

What You Need:
1 bag microwave butter popcorn, popped
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp. light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

What You Do:
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place popcorn in a big ol' bowl.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Keep stirring until it comes to a boil. Once it boils, let it go without stirring 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and vanilla. Pour in a thin stream over popcorn and stir to coat.
3. Line a cookie sheet with foil and pour the popcorn out onto the cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool completely a little bit.
