Here is a recipe my family has used for years. We make the colored kind in red and green for Christmas!
Ingredients
- 2 cups unpopped popcorn
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup molasses
- ½ teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to a 4 quart saucepan, and heat over high heat. When oil is hot, add 1/2 cup of popping corn. Keep pan moving constantly. When corn stops popping, remove from heat. Repeat until all corn has been popped. Place popped corn into a buttered bowl.
Step 2
In 2 quart saucepan, melt butter. Stir in sugar, molasses, and salt. Insert a candy thermometer in saucepan and boil sugar mixture on medium heat until the thermometer reads 260 degrees F(126 degrees C).
Step 3
Pour syrup over corn, while stirring popcorn thoroughly. Butter hands lightly. Shape popcorn into 12 to 14 balls.
