Popcorn Balls

INGREDIENTS

8 cups popped corn
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
½ cup water
1 teaspoon white vinegar
¾ cup butter

DIRECTIONS

Measure popped corn into large bowl. Combine sugars, corn syrup, water, and vinegar in a 2- quart saucepan. Heat to boiling over medium high heat, stirring frequently. Cook, stirring constantly, to 260 degrees on candy thermometer (or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a hard ball). Reduce heat to low and stir in butter until melted. Pour syrup in thin stream over corn in bowl, stirring until corn is well coated. Cool slightly. Butter hands and shape mixture into 3-inch balls and place on waxed paper.
