Notes

5 Quarts Popped Popcorn (3-4 Microwave bags)
2 Cups Sugar
1 1/2 Cups Water
1/2 TSP Salt
1/2 Cups Light Corn Syrup
1 TSP White Vinegar
1 TSP Vanilla
Keep popcorn warm in a 300 degree oven until needed. Butter sides of a medium saucepan and combine sugar, water, salt, corn syrup and vinegar. Cook until 250 degrees or hard ball stage ( when mixture is dropped in cold water, you can form a hardened ball). Add vanilla. Pour over popcorn and mix thoroughly. Let cool long enough until you can touch it without burning yourself! Butter your hands and lightly shape into balls!
