Ingredients
  • 5 to 6 cups freshly popped popcorn
  • 1 tablespoon butter (not margarine)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Food coloring of choice
  • (Make a few batches and use different colors for each batch)

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  2. Place popcorn in a shallow pan and place in oven to keep warm.
  3. In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter and add sugar, water and salt; stir until sugar is dissolved.
  4. Boil about 20 minutes, until syrup just begins to color (about 275 degrees on a candy thermometer; hardball stage).
  5. Watch syrup carefully once it reaches 250 degrees; it will darken quickly if it gets too hot.
  6. To test: Syrup should form a firm ball when dropped into cold water.
  7. Add vanilla and food coloring.
  8. Stir well.
  9. Pour in a stream over warm popcorn and quickly stir to coat each piece.
  10. Pour popcorn onto a sheet of baking parchment paper and separate each kernel. Be careful; syrup will be hot.
  11. Coating will harden as popcorn cools.
  12. Store in an airtight container.
  13. ---------If you want flavored popcorn, try searching for "Jello Flavored Popcorn Recipe" on the internet. Happy Halloween!
