  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/2 cup Butter

  • Remove any un-popped kernels and set aside.
  • Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt in saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring enough to blend.
  • Once the mixture begins to boil, boil for 5 minutes while stirring constantly.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla.
  • Make sure the mixture is stirred very well, then immediately pour over the popcorn.
  • Stir well to coat all of the popcorn.
