Pour popped popcorn in a large bowl or roasting pan and remove un-popped kernels. Place bowl or roasting pan in 300 degree oven to keep warm. Stir and cook corn syrup, water, butter, and salt until sugar in dissolved and a candy thermometer reaches 270 (or 260ish for a chewier texture). Add vanilla and food coloring and remove from heat.
