Classic Popcorn Balls
(but even better)
My husband found this recipe on allrecipes.com. They are a classic, yet updated version of the popcorn ball. My uncle Jack used to make them around Halloween time, so they always remind me of this time of year! Here is the list of ingredients:3/4 Cup of Light Corn Syrup
1/4 Cup Butter
2tsp Cold Water
2 5/8 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Cup Marshmallows
5 quarts or 20 Cups of Plain Popped Popcorn
Set the burner on Medium and slowly melt the butter.
Add in 3/4 Cup of Light Corn Syrup
Add 2tsp of cold water and 1 Cup of MarshmallowsMake sure to stir continually
Next, add in 2 5/8 Cup of Powdered Sugar
Heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Take off heat and stir in 5 quarts of plain popcorn.
*Make sure to let the mixture cool for about 10 min before handling. If not the sugar will burn your hands!! A good tip to make sure it doesn't stick to your hands is to spray them with a non-stick cooking spray.(notice the hairy arms and freckles, that's my husband!)
They are ready to eat and ENJOY! Sweet, crunchy and super YUMMY!HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Found this on pinterest while looking for something easy and seasonal to make for treats to go "boo" our neighbors this year with. Perfect! Thanks for posting :-)
ReplyDeleteI just made these for a pumpkin carving party. They are yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi, how many does each batch make? I get about 200-250 trick or treaters each year. So I need to have an idea how much supplies I need to purchase before hand (hopefully on sale!).
