Caramel Popcorn Balls

3 cups popped popcorn

1 C butter (2 sticks)
2/3 C evaporated milk
1 1/2 C white sugar
1 1/2 C brown sugar, packed
1 C corn syrup
Vanilla (2 tsps is what i used)

Combine all ingredients except vanilla. Cook to firm ball stage (250-265ºF) in heavy sauce pan. Remove from heat, add vanilla.

Pour over popped popcorn and stir until well coated. Pour onto buttered cookie sheets to cool.

Can shape into balls or or leave and pull off as you like.

Be careful with hot sugar syrups, you can SEVERELY burn yourself. (Voice of experience there).
