pour karo syrup/honey over all.
microwave for 30 sec. remove & stir.
microwave 2 minutes. remove & stir.
microwave 2 additional minutes.
remove & add vanilla & baking soda (this is the secret....mixture will foam & rise & get sticky!)
pour the gooey-ness over the popcorn and mix well to coat evenly.
