Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and watch closely until it registers 255 degrees. (Stir constantly!) Pour syrup mixture over popcorn and stir gently to coat popcorn.

Break the orange popcorn mixture into clusters, and store in an airtight container in a cool dry place. Makes about 13 (3/4 cup) servings.
