These popcorn balls are heavenly! Everyone I’ve shared them with becomes hooked instantly!
Ingredients
- 3 (2.9 ounce) bags microwave popcorn, popped
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup corn syrup
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Pour popcorn into a large bowl.
Step 2
Combine brown sugar, condensed milk, corn syrup, butter, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until a candy thermometer reads 234 degrees F (112 degrees C), about 5 minutes. Pour over popcorn; stir to coat evenly.
Step 3
Scoop some of the popcorn mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap. Gather and twist the plastic wrap to shape into a ball. Place popcorn ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; repeat with remaining mixture. Let cool until set, about 5 minutes.
Cook’s Note:
Substitute margarine for the butter if desired.
