   2      quarts        Popped popcorn
     3/4  cup           Pecan halves
     1/2  cup           Candy corn
  24                    Caramels -- about 1/2 lb
   1      tablespoon    Water
   1      tablespoon    Sugar
                        Margarine

Combine popcorn, nuts and candy cron in large bowl; toss to mix. Combine caramels, water and sugar in top of double boiler. Heat over simmering water, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth, about 20 minutes.
Pour over popcorn mix; toss to coat evenly. When caramel is cool enough to handle but still soft, shape mixture with buttered hands into 16 balls, about 1/2 cup each. Place on buttered baking sheet to set.
