Caramel popcorn with candy corn and chocolate drizzle in a big bowl

Stir the popcorn while the caramel's hot — once it cools, it won't budge.

How to make it

Heat the oven. Set it to 250°F. Put the popcorn in your biggest bowl and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Make the caramel. Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the brown sugar and corn syrup, and boil 4 minutes without stirring. Take it off the heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla — it'll foam up.
Coat the popcorn. Pour the caramel over the popcorn and stir fast until every piece is coated.
Bake it crisp. Spread on the baking sheet and bake 45 minutes, stirring every 15. (Yes, really — that's what makes it crunchy.)
Finish it. Let it cool, toss with candy corn, and drizzle with melted chocolate.
