These were a great treat for my niece's halloween party at school.I made 3 batches and did'nt have any left.Very easy to make and kids and adults both enjoyed them.

I was impressed with this, the coating was simple to make and a little sticky to work with, I had to put a lot of butter on my hands and press firmly to keep them together, but once they did they stayed that way! It was a good flavor, about what you'd think of with a popcorn ball, only not hard when you bite into it, there were little strings of the coating from the ball to what you bit off. It's also very addictive... when someone went by them they took one. Great recipe, thanks!

Makes very pretty popcorn. Powdered sugar taste is a bit strong - may try a little less next time.
