  16      cups          Popped popcorn -- *
   1      cup           Sugar
     1/4  cup           Brown sugar
     1/4  cup           Water
     1/2  cup           Light corn syrup
     1/4  cup           Butter
     1/2  teaspoon      Baking soda
     1/2  teaspoon      Anise extract
   1      tablespoon    Black food coloring

* 2 tbls of unpopped popcorn will produce 4 cups (or 1 ounce) of
popped popcorn.

 Place popcorn in large buttered baking pan. Put the sugars, water,
and corn syrup into a heavy pan over medium heat and stir. After the
mix has boiled, scrape sides of pan. Place a candy thermometer in the
pan and cook, without further stirring, to 250°. Remove pan from heat
and stir in butter, baking soda, anise extract and food coloring.
Pour over popcorn, mixing well. Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring
occasionally. When cooled, store in air-tight containers.
