I'm allergic to corn. Is there a way to make this recipe without popcorn?

These popcorn balls were a waste of time and ingredients. They were bland and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my popcorn balls didn't turn out right. They were too hard and crumbly.

These popcorn balls were a little too sweet for my taste, but I think I just added too much sugar. Next time I'll use less.
