Popcorn Shamrock

3 quarts warm, unsalted popped popcorn

Green Glaze
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon green food coloring
Materials: Cardboard shamrock, 10 x 7 inches
Aluminum foil
Green bow

Keep popcorn hot and crisp in a 300 degree F oven.

Cut a shamrock, 10 inches high and 7 inches wide, from cardboard; cover with aluminum foil.

Butter sides of a heavy saucepan. In it, combine sugar, syrup, water, butter and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Clip candy thermometer to pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring only if necessary, until mixture reaches hard-ball stage (250 degrees F). Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract and food coloring. Set aside about 1/4 of the glaze; keep hot. Pour remainder in thin stream over popcorn in large, buttered bowl and mix well.

Working quickly with buttered hands, pile popcorn onto shamrock pattern; pack firmly and build to height of 2 inches. Allow to cool. With pastry brush, coat shamrock with remaining glaze; let dry. Decorate with green bow secured with a straight pin.
