2 c Granulated Sugar
1 c Brown Sugar
3/4 c Corn Syrup
1 c Water
1 tb Butter
4 qt Popcorn
1 1/2 c Black Walnuts; (or any
-desired nut)

Instructions:
Place sugar, syrup and water in a saucepan and stir until the sugar is
dissolved. Cook to 240 degrees or until a drop in cold water will form a
soft ball. Add the butter and cook to 248 degrees when a drop in cold water

syrup lightly over the corn and nuts, turning the mass with a wooden spoon.

shape the corn into oblong corn cob forms. Wrap in green waxed paper,
twirling the paper at the tip end, then fringe fine (with scissors) like
corn silk.
