--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      qt            Popped popcorn
     3/4  c             Pecan halves
     1/2  c             Candy corn
     1/2  lb            Caramels (24)
   1      tb            Water
   1      tb            Sugar
                        Margarine

Combine popcorn, nuts, and candy corn 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.
