Steps:
- Place the popped popcorn into 2 greased baking pans. You may use roasting pans, jelly roll pans, or disposable roasting pans. Add the peanuts to the popped corn if using. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 250°F Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring enough to blend. Once the mixture begins to boil, boil for 5 minutes while stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat, and stir in the baking soda and vanilla. The mixture will be light and foamy. Immediately pour over the popcorn in the pans and stir to coat.
- Don't worry too much at this point about getting it to coat all of the corn.
- Bake for 1 hour, removing the pans, and giving them each a good stir every 15 minutes.
- Line the counter top with waxed paper. Dump the corn out onto the waxed paper and separate the pieces.
- Allow to cool completely, then store in airtight containers or resealable bags.

Steps:
- Place the popped popcorn into two shallow greased baking pans. You may use roasting pans, jelly roll pans, or disposable roasting pans. Add the peanuts to the popped corn if using. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, margarine and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring enough to blend. Once the mixture begins to boil, boil for 5 minutes while stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat, and stir in the baking soda and vanilla. The mixture will be light and foamy. Immediately pour over the popcorn in the pans, and stir to coat. Don't worry too much at this point about getting all of the corn coated.

Tips:
- Use fresh popcorn. Stale popcorn will not have the same flavor or texture.
- Make sure the caramel is cooked to the right temperature. If it is not cooked long enough, it will be too runny. If it is cooked too long, it will be too hard.
- Be careful when adding the baking soda. If you add too much, the caramel will foam up and overflow the pan.
- Stir the caramel corn constantly while it is cooking. This will help to prevent it from burning.
- Spread the caramel corn out on a baking sheet to cool. This will help to prevent it from clumping together.
- Store the caramel corn in an airtight container at room temperature. It will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.

Caramel corn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is a popular treat at fairs, carnivals, and parties. Caramel corn can also be made at home with just a few simple ingredients. With these tips, you can make perfect caramel corn every time.
