Great! So for those who had problems making balls, use stove top not air popped as the oil in the popcorn holds it together!

Easy peasy and yummy in the tummy! My daughter has been asking for popcorn balls and this is the one we chose. We're making them again.??

Delicious! I shaped them by spraying a metal half cup measure and using it as a mold. I washed my hands and resprayed the cup several times during the process. The popcorn balls slid out easily and the size was uniform.

These have a wonderful taste and would have gotten 5 stars, but I couldn't get them to stick together, they kept falling apart! Maybe it's because I added Candy Corn to mine, but together or not, they are very easy and very tasty. :)
