Veggies Don't Bite

0 Preheat the oven to 250 F/ 120 C
1 Make caramel according to the recipe but only thicken on the shorter side (about 5 minutes). Once thickened remove from heat and add in the baking soda with the vanilla and salt. You will see it bubbling but this is what helps it be more spreadable.
2 Add popcorn to a large bowl, with the caramel and nuts (if using). Mix around to coat well.
3 Spread popcorn mixture out on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
4 Bake for an hour, mixing around every 15 minutes.
5 Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool. Once cool you can break it apart.
6 Serve! Stores crisp in an air tight container!
