Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking 5 minutes without stirring; remove from heat. Stir in baking soda until foamy.
Pour sugar mixture over popcorn mixture; toss until evenly coated. If using bowl, transfer mixture to 2 ungreased 13x9-inch pans.
Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Spread on foil or cooking parchment paper. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
In medium bowl, place 3 cups popcorn mixture. In 1-quart saucepan, melt chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly.
Drizzle chocolate evenly over 3 cups popcorn mixture; toss gently to thoroughly coat popcorn.
Spread in single layer on foil or cooking parchment paper. Cool about 2 hours or until chocolate is firm.
