Popcorn Balls
Here’s another pretty fun Game Day appetizer or Super Bowl snack:
4 quarts popped corn
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
3 Tbs margarine
1 tsp vanilla
Combine sugar, syrup, water, salt, and margarine in a small pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture boils.
Continue cooking, without stirring, until 250 degrees is reached on a candy thermometer (hard-ball stage). Remove from heat and add vanilla.
Pour slowly over popped corn in a large bowl and mix to coat every kernel. Work quickly to shape into 4 ” balls. As you’re working wiht part of the popcorn, you can keep the remainder in a 200 degree oven, so it’ll stay pliable.
Place each ball onto waxed paper to set.
You could get really cute and shape them more along the lines of footballs.
