Pretty good.

Bring to boil, stirring constantly; boil without stirring for 5 min. Remove from heat; stir in soda and vanilla. Gradually pour over popped corn, mixing well. Turn into 2 large shallow baking or roasting pans. Bake at 250F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 min. Remove from oven, cool completely. Break apart.
