Maple Butter Popcorn Balls - all natural, no added sugar, no corn syrup

Halloween is a time when even the most sensible of us cave in when faced with bags and bags of treats being hauled around by all the little ghosts and goblins. So let's do ourselves a favour and make an alternative to store bought candy: Good old fashioned popcorn balls made from healthy whole grain popcorn and all-natural 100% maple syrup. A little splurge with real butter rounds off this treat with no added sugar, or corn syrup or chemical additives.
If you work quick enough forming the palm-sized balls you can get 6 made. I ended up with 5 and left over maple butter coated popcorn to munch on. Each popcorn ball is around 240 calories.

Delish! After I went on a diet I thought I had to say goodbye to caramel for good. You just brought it back!

Just remember these are not calorie free, but healthy alternatives that shouldn't trigger that sugar and junk food craving to over do it! Enjoy!

Biggest mess I’ve ever had in my kitchen. Then I thought to myself, why bother with maple syrup? It’s still a sugar that spikes insulin and ultimately leads to the same detrimental effects as corn syrup. So corn syrup it is!
