Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place popped popcorn in a very large bowl.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Then stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Then boil without stirring for approximately 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and then stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract.
Then pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn and stir it to coat all the popcorn with the caramel sauce.
Then place the popcorn in two large shallow baking dishes/ or pans and bake in preheated oven, for approximately 40 minutes (stirring half way through).
Remove from oven and let cool completely before breaking into pieces.
Store in an airtight container. I placed them in gallon size ziplock bags.
