Grandma's Popcorn Balls

My Grandma made the BEST popcorn balls every year for Halloween. Everybody wanted her recipe and lucky me - I got it 30 years before she passed away. Now that I am a Grandma of 3, I look forward to making these for my grand children.

• Ready In: 7 mins
• Yields: 12 balls, approx.

Ingredients

• 1  cup sugar
• 1  cup Karo light corn syrup
• 2⁄3 cup vinegar
• 1  tablespoon butter, melted
• 4  quarts  popped popcorn

Directions

1. In large pot mix well the sugar, Kayro syrup, vinegar and bring to boil. Continue until mixture reaches the Hard Crack Stage on candy thermometer.
2. Remove from heat and quickly stir in popped popcorn. Butter your hands and scoop enough coated mixture to form baseball sized balls.
3. You have to work quickly as the coating will harden very fast. When cooled, wrap in wax paper, twisting to close.
4. Preparation and cooking time does not include time to pop popcorn.
5. Cooking time varies with weather conditions.
