Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn syrup, margarine, cold water, confectioners' sugar and marshmallows. Heat and stir until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Carefully combine the hot mixture with the popcorn, coating each kernel.
- Grease hands with margarine and quickly shape the coated popcorn into balls before it cools.
- Wrap the balls with cellophane or plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh popcorn kernels. Older kernels are more likely to be stale and produce fewer popped kernels.
- Use the right amount of oil. Too little oil will result in dry popcorn, while too much oil will make the popcorn greasy.
- Heat the oil over medium heat. This will help to prevent the kernels from burning.
- Add the popcorn kernels to the oil and cover the pot. This will help to trap the heat and pop the kernels evenly.
- Shake the pot occasionally. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Remove the pot from the heat when the popping slows down. This will help to prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and season with salt, butter, or other desired toppings.
