This is how My mom makes them and they are so yummy
cup of Popcorn
mini marshmallows
1 tablespoon of butter,
vanilla extract
Pop your corn, then melt the marshmallow with the butter, till its creamy(we use the microwave) the same way you would rice crispy treats, Add a teaspoon or a dash of vanilla to the cream,(very important) and mix in your popcorn and form into balls and let them set on a wax paper, till they are SET and wrap individually in plastic wrap!
its super easy, if you can make rice crispy treats then you can make these, do not forget the vanilla it adds that extra pop of sweetness, we also put orange food coloring in the cream to turn them orange for halloween,,
Yes the day before is fine!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Popcorn Balls
2 cups Cane Syrup
? tbsp butter or margarine
? tsp salt
2 quarts popped popcorn
salted peanuts (optional)
Pop the popcorn according to package directions!. Combine with the peanuts if you are choosing to add them!.
In a heavy duty pan over a low fire, combine the syrup and salt and boil to the hard boil stage (when a small amount dropped in a cup of water becomes brittle) 260 degrees on a candy thermometer!. Remove off the fire and add the butter -- you could probably add your food color at this point if you want to dye the balls for a party!. Coat the popcorn and shape into balls about the size of a hardball or softball!. Careful when you first pour the syrup, it is hot!Www@FoodAQ@Com
