How to Make Vanilla Caramel Corn Crunch

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Pop the popcorn, discarding any un-popped kernels. Arrange the popcorn evenly in a large roasting pan—place in the oven.

Combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla paste, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil slowly. Boil for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly; do not burn. Stir in the baking soda and cream of tartar, which will cause the sugar mixture to rise. Pour over the warm popcorn, stirring until coated. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
