1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter1 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.
