The other day my husband and I were attending a Christmas lunch party at the lab that we work in, but we had our interviews for medical school that morning, too! We had no time to go home across town in Miami and grab whatever it was we'd be taking to the party, so we had to figure out something to take that could easily sit in the car during the interview and during errands and wouldn't go bad or melt! Lo and behold... popcorn balls! I made a few changes to a normal recipe to accomodate our tastes and what we had at home. They were a perfect non-super sweet addition to the dessert table and you can always make them as big or as small as the party would call for. This recipe makes about a dozen medium-sized balls.
Easy Popcorn Balls2 regular sized bags of Kettle Popcorn
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/2 c. sugar
Dash of salt
Prepare popcorn in microwave as directed, being careful not to overcook. Meanwhile, mix together corn syrup, sugar, and salt in a medium sized pan and heat & stir on low. Add 1-1/2 to 2 bags of popcorn to pan and gently
fold popcorn in the sweet mixture with a
rubber spatula, being careful not to break the popcorn. Continue folding until all sugar is dissolved and popcorn is well-coated. Rub butter on the palms and fingers of your hands and form popcorn into balls and set on your platter. Let cool.
Enjoy!
