Popcorn Balls

(from the kitchen of Evelyn McGhee)

1 cup sugar
1/3 cup white corn syrup
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup butter
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. vanilla
3 quarts popped corn

Combine sugar, corn syrup, water, butter, and salt in a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat to hard ball stage. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour over popcorn. When cool enough to handle, form into balls with buttered hands. Cool and wrap in individual sandwich bags.
