1 quart unsalted popped popcorn
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup red cinnamon candies
String licorice
Keep popcorn hot and crisp in a 300 degree F oven. Butter sides of a heavy
saucepan. In it, combine sugar, water, corn syrup, vinegar and salt. Bring to
a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Clip candy thermometer to pan. Cook
syrup to 250 degrees F (hard ball stage) over medium heat.
Remove from heat; add vanilla and candies; stir until candies are partially
melted. Pour slowly over popcorn, stirring just to mix thoroughly. Butter hands
lightly; quickly form popcorn into shape of king-size firecrackers. Insert a
short piece of licorice in end of each one for a fuse.
Yield: 4 to 6 firecrackers
