01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 250°F (120°C). Grease one large roasting pan or two smaller ones, then spread the popcorn evenly inside.
02
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and a few drops of green food coloring. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Once it’s boiling, let it cook without stirring for 5 minutes.

Step 3
Take the pan off the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. You’ll see the mixture foam up—that’s normal! Pour this syrup over the popcorn and gently stir until all the popcorn is nicely coated.

Step 4
Pop the pan into the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, making sure to stir the popcorn every 15 minutes. When it’s done, let it cool a bit and give it a good stir to break everything apart. Enjoy!
