Recipe - Perfect Popcorn Balls

3 qt Popcorn, popped
1 cup Karo light corn syrup
1 cup Sugar
One half teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla
Food coloring (optional)

Keep popped popcorn in warm oven. In a heavy saucepan, stir corn syrup,
sugar and salt, cook over medium heat. Stir constantly until mixture begins
to boil. Do not stir again. Cook on low without stirring for 4 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla (and food coloring now). Slowly pour over
popped popcorn mix with large spoon. When cool enough to handle, yet still
quite warm, quickly shape into balls. Keeping your hands lightly buttered
will keep mixture from sticking to your hands. Makes 12 (3 inch) balls.
