My Husband, (The Baby), loved these popcorn balls. My Grandkids went crazy for them. The biggest surprize for me, was when my Father-in-law ate four in a row. Since everyone was so happy, I didn't change a thing. Thanks for a great recipe That's so quick & easy to prepare, with such a happy ending.

I used this recipe for my first time making popcorn balls. Delicious! I added a tiny bit of almond extract as the pot was cooking.

Great recipe. Used two and a half bags of light popcorn and a tsp. of vanilla. Coworker's words, "I give the popcorn ball an A plus plus."

I had never tasted popcorn balls before but the pictures everyone posted looked so appetizing! I thought it was at least worth trying, so I made it. I ended up with balls of popcorn that were chewy, soft, and a bit too sweet. Mostly though, we didn't like the way it stuck in our teeth. So, I made candied popcorn with this recipe. I preheated my oven to 250 degrees and broke up the popcorn balls. I baked for 45 minutes, taking it out of the oven every 15 minutes to toss it and break it apart. I let it cool for a few minutes before I tasted it. It was DELICIOUS! I liked how the sugar hardened around the popcorn, making it crunchy like I thought popcorn should be. I plan on making it again in this way, but I think it needs salt. I air popped my own popcorn, so there were no other flavors besides airy popcorn. The contrast of sweet and salty would be perfect. Thanks for the recipe :)

So yummy and so easy! My 4-year-old daughter and I made this after tasting a prepackaged popcorn ball she got in her Halloween bucket, yuck. We cut the recipe to use the last bag of microwave popcorn on hand so we wouldn't have to go to the store first. Just 1 1/2 marshmallows for the bag of popcorn, and we still wound up with 6 tasty half-sized balls. Perfect for our family of three, and a great kitchen activity to share with my kiddo!

These were SO easy to make and they reminded me of the popcorn balls my mom used to make for Halloween years ago. I made two batches and took them to work. They were a big hit with everyone.

I made these for Halloween to share with my family. They are delicious!! I did add in the vanilla and threw in a couple of handfuls of peanuts. My niece and I will be making them for the Christmas bake sale at church. We will be adding dried cranberries and M&M's to make them look like ornaments. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!!

These were very, very good. I was trying to find a recipe similar to some we tried at a Halloween party last weekend. These tasted pretty close. I used 3 bags of light butter microwave popcorn and was able to get 20 popcorn balls. I will use this recipe again.

Very yummy but a lot of hardwork! Too sticky. I tried to follow a few reviews and tried gloves with Pam but this didn't work for me. I won't be doing this again.

I made these and added the 2 tsps of vanilla that someone earlier mentioned. I also added a can of cashew halfs and bits (didn't chop them) and a handful of candy corn and some black and orange halloween sprinkles. They turned out absolutly awesome. And so easy to do! I'll be doing these again for sure and am looking forward to trying different additions.

Very easy recipe. I changed mine just a bit by adding the leftover caramel from our caramel apples to make caramel popcorn balls. I left all the ingredients you listed and just added the melted caramel. Yummy!

After about 1 week of telling my kids I would make popcorn balls , today was the day. The preparation was simple and took very little time and the balls looked great. Yet , a few hours later when I gave them to my kids they refused to eat them. The balls are WAY too sweet and too gooey , you can barely chew them . Next time I will use A LOT less Sugar.
