Popcorn Surprises

1. 1

   Measure popped corn into large bowl. In a small saucepan, combine sugar, syrup, water and salt. Cover tightly and bring to a rolling boil. Remove lid and add a thermometer. Cook to 270u00b0. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour cooked syrup over the popped corn, stirring to coat corn. Cool completely, then run through a food chopper. Melt chocolate coating in top of a double boiler. Stir ground popcorn into chocolate, using as much popcorn as the chocolate will hold. Pack into chocolate-lined molds or roll out between waxed paper and cut into shapes with cookie cutters or a knife. Yield: about 50 pieces.
