Instructions

Preheat the oven to 250 F.
Spread popcorn in a large roasting pan or two 9x13-inch pans.
Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan, then stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Insert a candy thermometer and boil without stirring until it reaches 285 F (soft crack stage).
Remove from heat, then stir in baking soda and vanilla.
Pour the mixture evenly over the popcorn.
Mix quickly to coat all popcorn, spread evenly, and bake at 250 F for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven, stir well, and bake for another 15 minutes.
Remove from oven, stir in almonds and cashews. Bake for 30 minutes more, stirring every 10 minutes.
Turn the caramel corn onto non-stick foil or parchment-lined baking sheets in a single layer to cool completely, then break apart.
Melt chocolate chips and drizzle over the cooled caramel corn.
Cool completely, then store in airtight containers.
