Start by popping your popcorn kernels using an air popper or stovetop method. Place it in a large bowl once popped and set it aside.

In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, unsalted butter, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it reaches a gentle boil.

Let the mixture boil without stirring for about 4-5 minutes or until it turns a beautiful caramel color. Watch it closely, as it can burn quickly.

Once caramelized, remove the saucepan from heat, and carefully stir in the pecans, vanilla extract, and baking soda. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious!

Immediately pour the hot praline mixture over the popped popcorn, using a spatula to gently mix until all the popcorn is evenly coated.

Spread the coated popcorn onto a lined baking sheet and let it cool completely before breaking it into clusters. Lastly, sprinkle a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor!
