1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Let it boil for 4-5 minutes without stirring.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious.
4. Place the popped popcorn and pecans in a large mixing bowl. Pour the praline mixture over the popcorn and pecans. Gently stir.
5. Spread the coated popcorn and pecans onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or so, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating.
7. Once the popcorn is baked and the praline coating is crisp, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. It will harden further as it cools.
