Ingredients

  • 12 cups popped popcorn
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Shift out any unpopped kernels from the popcorn and place into a large mixing bowl. Set aside for later.
  • Line a baking tray with foil, or parchment paper, and preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
