Ingredients
- two cupfuls of granulated sugar
- one-half cupful of water
- a teaspoonful of vanilla
- one-fourth teaspoonful of cream of tartar
Directions
Pop some popcorn and pick out only the crisp, tender grains. Place in a saucepan two cupfuls of granulated sugar, one-half cupful of water and one-fourth teaspoonful of cream of tartar. Boil until it spins a thread or forms a hard ball when dropped into cold water; then flavor with a teaspoonful of vanilla. Pour part of this sugar syrup over the popcorn, and let the remainder stand on the back of the range. Form into tiny popcorn balls with the fingers and then dip into the remaining syrup one at a time. Set aside on greased paper to cool. When cool dip into melted sweetened chocolate.
