This recipe has always been one of my favorites and it is always something I look forward to during the holiday season.
These popcorn balls are really fun to make and quick and easy too!
Here’s what you need:
4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
7 1/2 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
5 quarts popped popcorn
Directions:
1. Combine butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup.
2. Stir well and bring to a boil over medium heat.
3. Stir in condensed milk.
4. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture forms a soft ball in cold water (takes just a few minutes). It will be between 234-238 degrees farenheit on a candy thermometer.
5. Stir in vanilla and remove from heat.
6. Pour over the popped popcorn and stir well.
7. Butter your hands lightly, and shape the popcorn into balls about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
Makes about 15 balls. Enjoy!
