Perfect Popcorn Balls (recipe)

[Guest guest]

I made these last night. i used 3 quarts of popcorn

and didn't pour all of the melted caramel mixture over

the popcorn (seemed like it would be too much

caramel). they turned out well. we used the

remaining caramel mixture to dip apples slices

into...yummmmmm. it is easier to form the popcorn

balls if you let the mixture cool a bit after mixing

the caramel and popcorn together. great treats for

halloween.

 

Perfect Popcorn Balls

 

2 1/2 quarts plain popped popcorn

1 14 oz. package light caramels

1/4 cup light corn syrup

2 T. water

 

Keep the popped popcorn in a 200 degree oven while the

caramels melt.

 

Melt the caramels in a double boiler. Add corn syrup

and water and mix until smooth. Pour over popcorn and

mix well. With greased hands, shape into balls.

 

Let cool completely and dry. Wrap each ball

individually.

 

Makes about 15 softball sized popcorn balls.
