CARAMEL POPCORN BALLS

These stay fairly soft (a little easier on the teeth!).

1/3 cup butter or margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
10 cups popped popcorn

Put waxed paper on your countertop.

Melt the butter in a soup pot. Add brown sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla. Stir and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

Add popcorn and mix in. Form popcorn balls and lay on wax paper to harden.

Makes about 1 dozen balls.
