Popcorn Balls




This recipe was really easy to make!

1/4 cup popping corn
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1/3 cup corn syrup
1/3 cup water

Pop the popping corn and place it on a cookie sheet that you've greased with butter. Set it aside while you make the syrup. In a saucepan combine the butter, salt, sugar, corn syrup and water. Stir it until it starts to boil. Then stop stirring and let it cook until it hits 270 on a candy thermometer. Pour it over the popcorn. Stir it up to coat all the pieces evenly.

Grease your hands with butter and as soon as it cools enough start forming the mixture into balls. Place them on wax paper. Eat after they've cooled or wrap in plastic and enjoy later!
