By Cindy_Wicker

Ingredients

• 5 cups popped popcorn
• 1 cup dry roasted peanuts
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Place popcorn and peanuts in a large bowl; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar and corn syrup to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Quickly pour over popcorn mixture and mix well.
When cool enough to handle, quickly shape into ten 2-1/2-in. balls. Let stand at room temperature until firm; wrap in plastic wrap. Yield: 10 popcorn balls.
