Mix the popped corn and peanuts in a large bowl. Combine the sugars, syrup, water, vinegar and salt in a saucepan. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly until a candy thermometer reads 260oF (or until a small amount of the mixture dropped into very cold water forms a hard ball).
Reduce the heat to low, add the butter or margarine and stir until melted. Pour the syrup slowly over the popcorn and peanuts, stirring until the popcorn is evenly coated. Cool slightly.
Grease your hands with more butter or margarine and shape popcorn balls. Cool and wrap each ball in plastic wrap, sandwich bagsor wax paper.
Makes about 14.
