Pop the popcorn however you like and place it in a large bowl (the larger the better). Preheat the oven to 250, and line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium pot, melt the butter/coconut oil and mix in the honey, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to gentle simmer for around 5 minutes, stirring the whole time.
Remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla. It'll get little foamy - that's normal.
Pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn and mix it through with a wooden spoon. You'll need to do this pretty quickly, so the sauce doesn't harden before all the popcorn is covered.
Spread the popcorn on the baking sheets and bake for 30-45 minutes, checking and stirring it often so it doesn't burn.
