This was a really yummy recipe! I did add vanilla like a few other people suggested. I actually made extra of the caramel sauce to pour over the popcorn, because it didn't seem like enough. I baked it a little longer than 1 hour too, because of the extra caramel sauce. I also added unblanched peanuts instead of the other nuts suggested (although I would recommend toasting them first for just a little bit before adding them to the caramel popcorn mix). The bottom of the pan with the extra caramel didn't harden like the rest of the popcorn, but that was all the better for me because I just took a spoon and licked off the extra caramel ;)
