I've been wanting to try this baked caramel popcorn recipe from allrecipes.com for a couple of months.  It tastes like crunchy Cracker Jacks and is oh so addictive!
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 quarts popped popcorn (about 3/4 cup kernels)
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts
Directions:
1.  Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Mix popcorn and nuts in a very large bowl.
2.  In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.  Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.  Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.  Boil without stirring 4 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in soda and vanilla.  Pour in a thin stream over popcorn, stirring to coat.
3.  Place on two large shallow cookie sheets and bake in preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour.  (I cooked both sheets at the same time.)  Remove from oven and let cool completely before breaking into pieces.
