Vanilla Popcorn

*This is super easy, fast (only about 10 minutes). A great after school snack.
3 quarts of popped popcorn
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. light corn syrup (I used Karo syrup)
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:
Place popped popcorn in a large bowl; set aside. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, butter and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil and stir until mixture is golden. about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in baking soda and vanilla. Pour over popcorn and toss to coat. Cool slightly; break apart while warm. Store in an airtight container (it never lasts that long to do).
*This recipe is from Taste of Home; great American cookout edition.
