These popcorn balls were my late grandma's recipe. She often made them for Halloween. Instead of store-bought candy, these were given out. I adore them. Really, it's just modified caramel corn shaped into a sphere, but if you need something to make Halloween special or want to start a new tradition, these will hit the spot!
Pro tip: when forming the balls, wet your hands slightly so the caramel won’t stick to you!
Ingredients:
- 12-14 cups popped popcorn (1/2 cup unpopped kernels)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 tbsp molasses
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Instructions:
- Pop the popcorn in one tablespoon oil and set aside in a large bowl. Personally, I use a Stir Crazy, but a large heavy-bottom kettle with a lid works well too.
- In a 4-quart heavy-bottom kettle, combine the sugar, water, molasses, butter, and vinegar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the mixture begins to boil. Continue to boil until the temperature reaches 235°F on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat and add the vanilla and baking soda. Stir to combine until the mixture is lighter in color and foamy.
- Pour over prepared popcorn.
- Stir until all the popcorn is coated in the caramel mixture. Allow to cool slightly and become sticky, 3-5 minutes.
- With well-oiled hands, create balls approximately 3 inches in diameter. If the balls are not sticking together, allow popcorn additional time to cool.

Oh my goodness I haven't thought about popcorn balls. I haven't had those for probably 30-40 years. Yep I have to make these for the grandkids
Lovely, thank you!
Thank you soooooo much! I was just thinking /reminiscing about eating caramel popcorn balls. I'll be using your Granny's recipe. Thank you!
OMG Stir Crazy! I used to have one in the 80’s! And now I’m searching for one on FB Marketplace! 😁
Love the thought of adding a little molasses, can’t wait to try these, thanks. Stay safe and happy Halloween 🎃
Can’t tell you how glad I am that you are back! You have made my fall. I look forward to your daily posts. And now Popcorn Balls! YES!!! I support high school students and work from home at my kitchen table. I stopped counting all the times I have tempted to drop everything and get cooking! 😂
Definitely going to try this

I will be making this for sure for my little ones, we love making popcorn on a stove top and I'm sure they will love the caramel added. You always have such great easy recipes that are so yummy.

Just find your channel- you need your own show! Or Buzzfeed tasty ;)
water? use some of the oil on your hands. No soggy popcorn
Thanks for not measuring tablespoons of molasses or honey or ketchup or anything that can easily be eyeballed
Dont forget the SALT
Baking soda adds a bit of saltiness 👌🏻
@@janetra1111 I did think of that as well as the molasses, but nothing better than salt and sweet together
@@jrt1776 I agree ♥️
