Instructions:

Keep popcorn warm in 200~ oven while preparing coating. 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 270~ on a candy thermometer or until a small amount 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. With greased hands shape into balls. VARIATION: Use almond pepermint or other flavor extract instead of vanilla. For colorful popcorn balls stir a few drops of food coloring into syrup before adding to popped popcorn.
