Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Remove all unpopped kernels from the popped corn. Pour popcorn into a 17 x 12 x 2 inch baking pan.
In a 1 1/2 quart saucepan, combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until butter melts and mixture comes to a boil. Cook, without stirring, for 5 minutes more.
Remove from heat. Stir in baking soda and vanilla. Pour over popcorn and gently stir to coat it.
