I found this recipe after Christmas while starting on collecting recipes for next year. It comes from the Jolly Time Popcorn folks. I wanted to try them the night I found it, but didn't have the butterscotch pudding. So, when I do get around to making them, I'll make any changes to the recipe that I think it needs. If you try it before me, please submit a review and let me know how they turned out. I'm anxious to try them!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your popcorn balls.
  • Cook the popcorn until it is golden brown and fluffy. This will ensure that the popcorn balls are crispy and flavorful.
  • Use a large pot to cook the caramel. This will give you plenty of room to stir and prevent the caramel from burning.
  • Stir the caramel constantly while it is cooking. This will prevent it from burning and ensure that it reaches the right consistency.
  • Be careful when handling the hot caramel. It can cause serious burns.
  • Let the caramel cool slightly before adding the popcorn. This will prevent the popcorn from becoming soggy.
  • Use your hands to shape the popcorn balls. This will help you to get a nice, even shape.
  • Roll the popcorn balls in sprinkles, nuts, or other toppings. This will add extra flavor and texture.
  • Store the popcorn balls in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Dulce de leche popcorn balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover popcorn and caramel, and they are also a fun and festive way to celebrate a holiday or special event. With a little creativity, you can make dulce de leche popcorn balls that are unique and special. So get creative and have fun with it!
