- Melt the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan. Add the golden syrup and stir the mixture slowly. Let it boil for a few minutes until thick.
- Turn off the heat and add the baking soda. Stir quickly as the caramel starts to foam up. Add the vanilla and sea salt to the sauce.
- Pour the hot caramel over the popcorn in the bowl. Toss it quickly so every piece gets a thin coating. Work fast before the sugar starts to get hard.
- Spread the popcorn onto a lined baking sheet now. Let it cool completely until the caramel is very crispy. Break the pieces apart and enjoy your sweet snack!
