Vanilla Sweet Popcorn

I love this recipe!  It tastes like kettle corn without the salty flavor.  I think I'll try adding a teaspoon of salt to the next batch to see if it tastes like kettle corn.  Either way it should be good. :)

2 Quarts popped popcorn
  2/3 c sugar
1/4 c light corn syrup
1/2 c butter
1 t vanilla


Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Oil a 10x15 inch baking pan with sides.

Place popcorn into a large, metal bowl, and set aside. Stir together the sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla, then pour over the popcorn. Stir until the popcorn is well coated. Spread the popcorn into the prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 4-5 minutes.

Remove from the oven, and allow to cool to room temperature. Break into small clumps, and store in an airtight container.

I mixed it with chocolate popcorn.
