Ingredients:
- 7 quarts popped popcorn, unbuttered and unsalted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)
- Chunks of candy (optional)
Directions:
- After popping popcorn, place in a large baking pan;
keep warm in a 200° oven.
- In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup,
water and salt. Cook over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 235°
(soft-ball stage).
- Remove from the heat. Add the butter, vanilla and food coloring if desired; stir until butter is melted. Immediately pour over popcorn and stir until evenly coated.
- When mixture is cool enough to handle, quickly shape into 3-inch balls, dipping hands in small amounts of cold water frequently to prevent sticking.
