Combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and food coloring in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until it comes to a boil. Let it boil without stirring for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda; the mixture will foam up and then settle down.
