qt saucepan, stir together corn syrup, sugar, water and vinegar.

260 degrees on a candy thermometer or until a small amount of mixture
dropped in very cold water forms a ball hard enough to hold its
shape, yet plastic. Remove from heat; stir in margarine. Slowly pour
over popcorn, stirring to coat well.

When cool enough to handle, yet still quite warm, quicly shape into
balls with well-buttered or oiled hands. Wrap individually in
plastic wrap. Makes about 10 3 inch balls.

** Option ** Substitute 2 Tblsp of praline liqueur for
2 tblsp of the water.
