Hi Chip,
Could the below recipe be the one you want?

Sugared Popcorn With Variations
Ingredients :
6 qts. freshly popped corn
2 tbsp. butter
2 cupfuls granulated sugar
1 cupful water
1 tsp. vanilla
Preparation :
Pick over corn, discarding all hard kernels and put the perfect
morsels into shallow pans and crisp in a slow oven while preparing
syrup. Melt butter in saucepan, add sugar and water, and stir until
dissolved. Boil until the syrup spins a good thread from the spoon
(300 degrees on candy thermometer) or forms a hard ball when tested
in cold water. Add vanilla and pour over the popcorn. Stir until
every kernel is sugar coated and separated. Syrup may be tinted
red, green or yellow to give variation.

Subject: Re: Chinese candy & Portabella mushrooms
The Chinese candy I seek was made fresh daily in Boston’s
Chinatown grocery stores in the 60’s and was also offered
as dessert in area restaurants. It was made on a sheet pan
and cut into dice sized cubes. It was not overly sweet and
was chewy like firm jelly.
Several years I experimented with agar agar and was able to
produce a product that was quite similar but lacking something.
I shall continue my search. Thank you for your prompt reply.
Another vexing problem I have concerns Portabella mushrooms,
specifically those served as an appetizer at Macaroni Grill
restaurants. I suspect the mushrooms are brushed with olive oil
and grilled over Mesquite. They are then briefly sautéed in a
mushroom sauce and served with orzo. This is all pure speculation,
however they prepare them, the flavor they achieve is delicious!
As it as a 5 hour drive to the nearest Mac. Grill, I would dearly
love to be able to prepare these at home. Thus far my experimental
results have proven less than satisfactory.
Hello Robert,
The only reference that I have been able to find regarding agar candy was one that
mentioned that it was popular as a dietary aid back in the 1930's. I was not able to
locate a "chinese candy" recipe containing agar.
As for the portobellos, I've never had their Macaroni Grill's grilled portobellos. I'm
sending you a few grilled portobello recipes that I have. Maybe you can determine whether
one of them might be similar.

Subject: lemon jello cookies
At one time I had a recipe which called for lemon jello in the batter.
I lost it when I moved about 6 years ago. The cookie had a cake-like
texture (like a pumpkin cookie) and was moist and delicious. Do you
happen to have it?
thanks, Marilee

Subject: Italian Soup Recipe
I am trying to find a recipe which my girlfriends mother made
many years ago. She was of Italian decent, so I am assuming it
to be an Italian dish.
I believe she called it "Kapletz", or something on that order.
I believe it was made with a beef base, and it had little pockets
of dough which were filled with a ground meat mixture.
Thanks for your help!
Audrey
Hello Audrey,
The only Italian dish that I can find that would be like you describe and would begin with a "k" or a "c" would be "cappelletti".
These are small squares of pasta, something like a small ravioli, stuffed with ground meat, cheese, or vegetables.
These are served in a broth, usually chicken or beef.
I was not able to find a single recipe using beef, but the sites below have instructions on making various kinds of cappelletti.
