Time 50m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 cups (4.4 ounces) popped popcorn
1 cup molasses
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for coating hands
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper; set aside. Place the popcorn in a large bowl; set aside.
  • In a heavy medium pot, stir to combine the molasses, sugar, butter and vinegar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the mixture reaches 260 degrees F (hard ball stage) on a candy thermometer, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes, then pour over the popcorn; fold and mix to coat using a rubber spatula. Let the popcorn cool slightly.
  • Coat your hands well with butter and form the popcorn mixture into 1/2-cup balls, squeezing to keep the popcorn together. Place on the prepared baking sheet and let sit until completely cooled and hardened, about 20 minutes.

I tried making these popcorn balls but they turned out too hard. I think I cooked the corn syrup for too long.

I've been making Grammy Carl's popcorn balls for years and they are always a favorite. They're the perfect combination of sweet and salty, and the corn syrup gives them a nice chewy texture.
