She often made them for Halloween. Instead of store-bought candy, these were given out. I adore them. Really, it's just modified caramel corn shaped into a sphere, but if you need something to make Halloween special or want to start a new tradition, these will hit the spot! • Pro tip: when forming the balls, wet your hands slightly so the caramel won’t stick to you! • Ingredients: • 12-14 cups popped popcorn (1/2 cup unpopped kernels) • 1/2 cup sugar • 1/3 cup water • 3 tbsp molasses • 1 tbsp butter • 2 tbsp white vinegar • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 1/2 tsp baking soda • Instructions: • Pop the popcorn in one tablespoon oil and set aside in a large bowl. Personally, I use a Stir Crazy, but a large heavy-bottom kettle with a lid works well too. • In a 4-quart heavy-bottom kettle, combine the sugar, water, molasses, butter, and vinegar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the mixture begins to boil. Continue to boil until the temperature reaches 235°F on a candy thermometer. • Remove from heat and add the vanilla and baking soda. Stir to combine until the mixture is lighter in color and foamy. • Pour over prepared popcorn. • Stir until all the popcorn is coated in the caramel mixture. Allow to cool slightly and become sticky, 3-5 minutes. • With well-oiled hands, create balls approximately 3 inches in diameter. If the balls are not sticking together, allow popcorn additional time to cool. • #halloween #popcorn #popcornballs #fallrecipe #fallrecipes
