Grandpa's Popcorn Balls
These were a cinch to make. I don't see how anyone had problems?? I used a large le creuset pot to pop the corn then stirred in the candy mix using the popping pot as it was greased already. You absolutely have to wait until the candy gets to hard crack, this WILL take a half hour or so. Also, if it is humid outside don't bother. Humidity in the air keeps the moisture level too high for the sugar to reach hard crack stage. Sugar gets hotter as the moisture evaporates, when it is humid in the air this wont happen, or happen properly. That could be the problem for some. You really do need a candy thermometer to be successful with these. Also, please wait about a half an hour before eating and they shouldn't stick in your teeth, they take a bit of time to harden.
