Preparation:
Cook syrup, vinegar and butter to hard-ball stage. Remove to back of stove, add soda dissolved in water. Pour syrup over popcorn and peanuts, stirring until each kernel is well coated. Mold into balls.
Note: Several people wrote and suggested to add food coloring to the syrup to get different colors.
