Field editor Edna Hoffman of Hebron, Indiana writes, These sweet chewy snacks are made from one of our state's most popular crops—popcorn! This version has a nice caramel color and flavor. Ingredients:
2 quarts popped popcorn |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup water |
1/3 cup dark corn syrup |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Place popcorn in a large bowl; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the brown sugar, water, corn syrup, butter and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue cooking, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 270° (soft-crack stage).
2. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Pour over popcorn; stir to coat. When cool enough to handle, quickly shape into balls. Yield: 6 servings.
