Photo: ma's famous popcorn balls
A family tradition in our house growing up was ma's popcorn balls. We'd make them for Halloween treats, placing each in a sandwich bag tied with a twisty until they were gobbled up. Since my sister shared the recipe on her facebook page, I figured it was fair that I share it with the blog world as well:
Mix -
1 cup white sugar
1/3 cup water
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup Karo Light Corn Syrup
Bring to a boil (approx. 2 minutes). To ensure the mixture is ready, you can also place a little in a glass of cold water. If the mixture forms a hard ball, it is done. Take off of the heat and add 3/4 tsp of vanilla.
Pop approximately 3 cups of Orville Redenbacher (ma swears this tastes better) popcorn, sift out all the left over seeds, and place popcorn in a large bowl. Pour mixture over the popcorn and mix well. When it is cool enough to touch (but the warmer the better because they stick together better and easier), take a handful of popcorn and squeeze into ball of desired size. Allow to completely cool then place in container or plastic sandwich baggies.
ENJOY!!!
