Steps:
- Pop popcorn according to package directions.
- Have two bowls ready.
- Pour popcorn in one bowl.
- Gently Shake the bowl to get the seeds to the bottom of the bowl.
- Remove popcorn slowly into the second bowl leaving seeds in the 1st bowl.
- Toss seeds. Repeat with the second and third bag.
- Prepare 2 baking sheets with a baking mat or parchment paper.
- Preheat oven to 250*F
- In a pot, add butter and cook over medium heat until melted.
- Add brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.
- Bring to a boil and cook for an additional 4 minutes, stirring regularly so caramel doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
- After 4 minutes, turn off the heat and remove the pan from heat.
- Add vanilla extract and be prepared for the mixture to spit at you. Stir to incorporate.
- Add baking soda and stir. Mixture will become fluffy and increase in volume.
- Pour caramel mixture over your prepared popcorn.
- Stir well, careful not to touch the caramel mixture to your skin or it will burn you.
- Spread caramel corn on baking sheets, dividing mixture between the two sheets.
- Evenly space the racks in your oven so you can get both in there at the same time, one on top and one on bottom.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove caramel corn, and stir. Place back in oven on the opposite oven shelf.
- Repeat 15 minute baking and stirring intervals until caramel corn has been baked 2 times total.
- Remove from the oven, stir and let cool.
- I like to stir again after caramel corn has been out of the oven for 5 minutes to prevent clumping.
- Serve once cool.

Tips:
- Use fresh popcorn kernels: Fresh popcorn kernels will pop better and result in a crispier, fluffier popcorn.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When popping popcorn, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the kernels from popping evenly.
- Use a large pot: Use a large pot to pop the popcorn so that the kernels have plenty of room to expand.
- Shake the pot: As the popcorn is popping, shake the pot frequently to ensure that all of the kernels pop evenly.
- Remove the popcorn from the heat as soon as it's done: Once the popcorn is done popping, remove it from the heat immediately to prevent it from burning.
- Add the vanilla extract and caramel sauce: Once the popcorn has cooled slightly, add the vanilla extract and caramel sauce and stir to coat.
- Serve immediately: Vanilla caramel popcorn is best served immediately, while it's still warm and fresh.
Conclusion:
Vanilla caramel popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and salty treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give vanilla caramel popcorn a try!
