| I would love to have the recipe for the
popcorn balls that have a caramel taste, and are crispy. Our family just doesn't care for the marshmallow ones at all... Thanks in advance

| My mother made these at least 50 years ago. I don't really remember what they were like, but they're certainly old-fashioned. POPCORN BALLS 3 qts popped corn 1 cup sugar 1/3 cup white corn syrup (Karo) 1 cup water 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla Discard all imperfect kernels & put the popped corn into a large pan. Cook sugar, Karo & water ot the medium-crack stage (280° on a candy thermometer.) Add vanilla & salt. Pour over the corn, stirring with a spoon so that all kernels will be evenly coated. Shape the corn into balls, lay on waxed paper & wrap in waxed paper.~~ Below is another recipe for Caramel Popcorn Balls that got good reviews. |

| Ginger's recipe sounds like the one our family has used for years. Mom would put Red and Green food coloring in the mix for Christmas. David |

| David, I remember my mother coloring them for a school sale (don't know how she did it but probably the same way.) At 7 I thought that was really weird but they were the first thing that sold out. My first lesson that she was ALWAYS right. |

| Ginger - THANK YOU so much for the recipe! Jude! |
