Ingredients
| Amount | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 8 cups | JOLLY TIME® Blast O Butter® or Butter Microwave Pop Corn, popped |
| 1 cup | sugar |
| 1/3 cup | light or dark corn syrup |
| 1/3 cup | water |
| 1/4 cup | butter or margarine |
| 1/2 tsp | salt |
| 1 tsp | vanilla |
Directions
Keep popped popcorn warm in 200F oven while preparing syrup. In 2-quart saucepan, stir together sugar, corn syrup, water, butter and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking without stirring until temperature reaches 270F on a candy thermometer or until a small amount of syrup dropped into very cold water separates into threads, which are hard but not brittle. Remove from heat. Add vanilla; stir just enough to mix through hot syrup. Slowly pour over popcorn, stirring to coat every kernel. Cool just enough to handle. Shape into balls, using JOLLY TIME® Pop Corn Ball Maker or buttered hands. Cool on foil or buttered wax paper. Wrap in plastic wrap; tie with a ribbon.
