  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1                Cup  sugar
     1/3           Cup  white Karo
     1/3           cup  water
     1/4           Cup  butter
     3/4      Teaspoon  salt
     3/4      Teaspoon  vanilla
  3              Quart  popped popcorn

Preparation:

In a medium saucepan, mix all ingredients except the vanilla. Cook until mixture reaches 270 degrees, or brittle ball. Take off heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over the popcorn, and stir lightly and quickly to coat. Shape quickly with butter coated hands (important - the butter keeps the syrup from sticking to and burning your hands). Note: If desired, food coloring can be added before cooking.
