Category: Snacks / Crackers / Chips

1 cup popping corn
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon shaker salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Heat oven to 250 degrees. Pop popcorn according to package directions. Put popped corn in a large (slightly buttered) bowl or roaster pot.

In a saucepan, melt butter, add maple syrup, brown sugar and salt. Boil on medium heat without stirring for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in baking soda and vanilla and stir to combine.

Pour gradually over popped corn and mix well. Turn onto large baking sheets with sides (a full recipe will take 4 sheets). Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
