Popcorn Balls

I've never been a huge fan of popcorn balls, but this stuff is G-O-O-D!
 (Bad picture/Good Popcorn)

Recipe:

Candied Popcorn Balls

20 C. Popcorn (About 2 1/2 bags)
1 1/2 C. Light colored Karo Syrup
1 1/2 C. Sugar
7 oz. Jet Puffed Marshmallow Creme
2 Tbs. Softened Butter
1 tsp. Vanilla
M&M's/ Peanuts if desired

Directions:
 Pop your popcorn and remove unpopped kernels. Place in big bowl. Set aside.
Melt together Karo Syrup and Sugar until Boiling. Remove from heat and stir in Marshmallow Creme, Butter and Vanilla until melted.
Pour over Popcorn and stir well. 
(I use a wooden spoon so it doesn't stick as badly as a metal spoon)
 Let rest until well cooled. Mix in Peanuts/M&M's if desired.
Once cool enough to handle, form into soft balls (Don't pack them tight or they get hard)...

Or you can leave it in the bowl and just eat it by the handful like me :D


Popcorn for Breakfast = Gym after work
