stirring occasionally, until temperature reaches 260 degrees on a candy
thermometer or until a small amount of mixture dropped in very cold water
forms a ball hard enough to hold its shape, yet plastic. Remove from heat;
stir in margarine. Slowly pour over popcorn, stirring to coat well.

When cool enough to handle, yet still quite warm, quicly shape into balls
with well-buttered or oiled hands. Wrap individually in plastic wrap.
Makes about 10 3 inch balls.

** Option ** Substitute 2 Tblsp of praline liqueur for 2 tblsp of the
water.
