messy and not that good

I made this for a family brunch and everyone LOVED it. I also ommitted the nuts since I didn't have any on hand, and used a spice cake since that was all I had. I also changed the glaze because I don't like the plain sugar/water combo. I used 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon cream cheese, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp water. I put it in a sandwich bag and piped it over the top. I loved the glaze, it really completed the cake! I would like to try this again someday with a yellow cake mix as called for, and see which i like better. YUM! thanks for the recipe

These were sooo good. My husband had a hankering for popcorn balls so we made these last week. I didn't have a candy thermometer on hand so I just guessed when the caramel was done. Maybe I just got lucky but it was perfect- made chewy popcorn balls just the way we like them. The caramel in this recipe is so good! I wanted to eat the whole pot without adding popcorn! We popped 1 cup of kernals and it made the perfect amount of popcorn for the caramel mixture. Baggies on hands was also a great idea for forming the balls. These are very sweet- you'll only need one!
