Bertha’s Popcorn Balls

1 DOZEN POPCORN BALLS | PREP TIME: 25 MIN

Ingredients

  • 3 qt. popped corn
  • ⅓ cup white syrup
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water

Directions

  1. Cook water, syrup and sugar to soft crack.
  2. Add vanilla and salt.
  3. Form into balls.

Notes

From Allyson: I used about ¾ cup of unpopped corn to make 3 quarts of popcorn. The temperature of a soft crack is different depending on elevation. Wait a little to form into balls so you don’t burn your hands, but don’t wait too long before the syrup settles. Remove kernels before forming the balls.
