Yummy Caramel Popcorn Balls

By Cynthia Leave a Comment

The Texas State Fair is over and autumn has truly set in. Making caramel popcorn balls and candied apples this time of year is so fitting. The smell of caramel throughout the house is heavenly. This recipe is simple and tasty! I used dark brown sugar instead of the light, using the dark sugar reminds me of a box Cracker Jacks. So bring the kids in the kitchen and have fun making this delicious snack!

Ingredients:

8 cups of popped corn
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed firmly
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter

2013-10-21_007Measure 8 cups of popped corn pan. Make sure it’s clear of un-popped seeds.

2013-10-21_008Heat to a boil over medium to high heat, stirring constantly. Cook to 260 degrees with candy thermometer (hard ball stage). Reduce heat to low and add butter stir until melted.
