Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt until smooth.

Pour the caramel mixture over the popped popcorn and stir to coat evenly.

Spread the coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.

Once cooled, break into pieces and mix in chocolate chips and nuts if using.
