We always made this for Halloween. Stuffed in clear plastic gloves, it makes great favors. Elizabeth served it at the twins second birthday party with a circus theme.
My mom, Dolores Borel, made this for me when I was little. I made it for my children.

4 quarts popcorn — popped (Any popcorn will do. Microwave popcorn is easy.)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
In a saucepan combine butter, sugar, syrup and salt. Boil over low heat 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Stir in baking soda. Mixture will foam. Continue stirring and pour over the popcorn in a large baking pan. Stir trying to coat most of the popcorn. Bake 250 stirring every 15 minutes for about 1 hour (If you can wait that long). Pour out over counter top and cool slightly breaking large pieces apart. Store in an air tight container. (If there is any left over)
