I know. One more recipe for popcorn balls, but I looked, and this is the most basic you can get. I made two batches, one with two handfuls of unsalted peanuts. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups molasses |
3/4 cup sugar |
4 quarts popped corn |
Directions:
1. Combine molasses and sugar in a saucepan.
2. Grease a large mixing bowl and put in popped popcorn. Grease a mixing spoon. Set aside.
3. Combine molasses and sugar in a saucepan. Stirring constantly, heat over medium-high heat until just about boiling.
4. Pour over popcorn and mix well. Add peanuts if desired at this point.
5. Let cool a little (take the kids to wash their hands - that will take just the right amount of time!).
6. Press popcorn into balls. (Kids love this!).
7. Eat what sticks on your hands.
