How to Make Caramel Popcorn:

STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

STEP TWO: Into an extra-large mixing bowl, add the popped popcorn.

STEP THREE: Make the caramel. Into a small saucepan over medium heat, add brown sugar, vegan butter, light corn syrup, vanilla, and sea salt. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda.

STEP FOUR: Coat the popcorn. Working quickly, pour the caramel over the popcorn. Stir to coat. 

STEP FIVE: Bake the popcorn. Divide the coated popcorn between the two parchment-lined baking sheets. Spread across the surface of each baking sheet so that popcorn is in an even layer. Bake popcorn in pre-heated oven for 12 minutes.

STEP SIX: Allow to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container.
