Ingredients:
6 quarts freshly popped popcorn
1 cup butter
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
6 (1 oz) squares semisweet chocolate
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 200.
2. Place popcorn in a large roasting pan; set aside.
3. In a large saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Pour over popcorn, tossing gently to coat well. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour popcorn in an even layer onto parchment paper. Let cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
