Peanutty Caramelized Popcorn Balls

== Description ==
Purchased from the Miller Estate in Wylie, Texas in 1994. These are time consuming and very messy. But well worth the effort. I make them for our church bake sale and they always get bought right up. Date and source unknown.

== Ingredients ==
* 8 cups popped corn
* 1 cup peanuts
* ¾ cup white sugar
* ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
* ½ cup light corn syrup
* ½ cup water
* 1 teaspoon white vinegar
* ¼ teaspoon salt
* ¾ cup butter
== Directions ==
# Mix the popped corn and peanuts in a large bowl. 
# Combine the sugars, syrup, water, vinegar and salt in a saucepan. 
# Heat to boiling, stirring constantly until a small amount of the mixture dropped into very cold water forms a hard ball. 
# Reduce heat to low.
# Add butter and stir until melted.
# Pour the syrup slowly over the popcorn and peanuts, stirring until the popcorn is evenly coated. 
# Cool slightly. 
# Grease your hands with more butter and shape popcorn balls. 
# I do this with wax paper since the caramel can get very hot. 
# Cool and wrap each ball in plastic wrap.
