A delightful and simple-to-make sweet treat that works well for any occasion are popcorn balls. They are a hit because of the combination of crunchy popcorn and a sweet, buttery coating.
Ingredients:
- 10 cups popped popcorn
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Pop the popcorn and discard any unpopped kernels by transferring it to a big bowl
Melt the butter, add the sugar, corn syrup, and salt to a saucepan over medium heat
The mixture should boil for 45 minutes while stirring continuously, or until it reaches the soft ball stage, which is measured by a candy thermometer at 235F/113C
After taking off the heat, whisk in the vanilla extract
Shake well to ensure that the popcorn is evenly coated before pouring the hot sugar mixture over it
After letting the mixture cool a little, coat the popcorn in oil and roll it into balls with your hands
Transfer the popcorn balls to a tray lined with parchment paper to cool fully and solidify
Store in an airtight container after cooling
