  Place  the  popped corn in a large greased bowl or pan. In a heavy 2
  qt saucepan, stir together corn syrup, sugar, water and vinegar.
  Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until mixture boils.
  Continue cooking, stirring occasionally,  until temperature reaches
  260 degrees on a candy thermometer or until a small amount of mixture
  dropped in very cold water forms  a ball hard enough to hold its
  shape, yet plastic. Remove from heat; stir in margarine.  Slowly pour
  over popcorn, stirring to coat well.
  
  When cool enough to handle, yet still quite warm, quicly shape into
  balls with  well-buttered  or oiled hands. Wrap individually in
  plastic wrap. Makes about 10 3 inch balls.
  
  ** Option ** Substitute 2 Tblsp of praline liqueur for
        2    tblsp of the water.
