Country Cousin Popcorn Balls

 

2 cups sugar

2/3 cup apple juice or water

2/3 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup vegan margarine

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

4 quarts warm popped popcorn

1 cup honey-roasted, unsalted or salted peanuts

1 8-ounce package chopped dates (1 1/2 cups)

 

Combine sugar, apple juice, syrup, vegan margarine and salt in a heavy

saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove sugar from sides of

pan with a wet brush. Cook, without stirring, until mixture reaches 270

degrees Fahrenheit, or the soft crack stage on a candy thermometer. Add

vanilla. Pour mixture over popped popcorn, peanuts and dates; mix well. Wet

or butter hands and shape into 3-inch balls.

Yield: 18 balls.
