½ tsp vanilla extract

¼ cup biscuit crumbs

Pop the popcorn kernels in oil over medium heat; set aside in a large bowl.
-
Melt butter, brown sugar, golden syrup, and salt in a saucepan; simmer 4 minutes without stirring.
-
Remove from heat; whisk in vanilla and baking soda until foamy.
-
Pour caramel over popcorn; toss to coat. Bake at 120°C (250°F) for 45 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes.

Cool for 20 minutes, then break into chunks.

Crushing biscuits finely helps them stick better to the chocolate.
