Popcorn Balls

Mix first 4 ingredients in saucepan.

Cook until mixture boils, continue cooking, stirring constantly, until a hard ball forms when dropped in very cold water or 260° on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and quickly blend in butter or oleo. Pour slowly over popped corn in a large bowl, mixing well. Shape into balls using as little pressure as possible. Butter hands, if necessary.

Mixture will be very hot.

Keep a bowl of cold water for dipping hands to cool.

Makes 14 medium balls.
