24 cups popped popcorn
3 cups granulated sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
½ cup dark corn syrup
⅔ cup water
6 tablespoons stick butter or 6 tablespoons margarine
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted

1
Spread popcorn in 2 large, deep roasting pans.
2
Bring sugar, corn syrups and water to boil in 4-quart saucepan.
3
Add butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer registers 300 degrees F to 310 degrees F. When mixture forms hard, brittle threads, it's ready.
4
Remove from heat.
5
Carefully stir in salt, baking soda and vanilla extract.

Because the candy is very hot, the vanilla extract will spatter and the mixture will foam.
7
Pour over popcorn and stir to coat.
8
Let cool.
9
Store airtight.

Up to 2 days before giving, break up large chunks, spread coated popcorn on two cookie sheets.
