Vermont Maple Popcorn Balls

Ingredients:
• 1 cup Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 1/2 cup Popcorn – popped *

Directions:
In a heavy saucepan put the maple syrup and butter. Cook to 260~ on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and add the vanilla. Stir well and pour over the popped corn. Shape into balls. Both pecans and walnuts are good with maple, it’s hard to say which is better.
