  1. So easy to make and so delicious!
     
  2. I didn't have any peanuts, so I mixed peanut butter in with the caramels. As a result, mine never really hardened fully, but they were a big hit anyway! Much easier than some other recipes I've seen. THanks!
     
  3. Good! I made these back at Halloween time to hand out to the trick or treaters that I knew - not sure where my review went. The flavour of these popcorn balls is great and they are nice & crunchy. We just found them a little dry & salty. Next time I'll cut out the salt & cut back a bit on the popcorn.

  1. I used chocolate chips instead of peanuts, although not a full cup!! mmmmmmmmm this is perfect for a sweet tooth candy fix! I did not add salt and used salted microwave popcorn instead. Tasty!
