Popcorn Balls

Sorry about the late post - Blogger has been having problems.

In looking through the recipes, I came across this recipe for popcorn balls and it brought back a lot of childhood memories. A lot of messy fun to make and eat! At least it was as a kid.

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
2 Tbsp. vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 quarts freshly popped corn

Boil the sugar, water, vinegar and salt until the syrup forms a hard ball when dropped in cold water or until a candy thermometer registers 250 degrees. Add the vanilla, pour while hot over the popcorn and mix well. When cool enough to handle, grease the hands and shape into balls.
