I have never made popcorn balls. I attempted to once but it was a disater!!! this recipe was AWESOME! I read some reviews before making them and it helped. I added 2tsp.of vanilla right before i put the sugar mixture on the popcorn. I also added some cinnamon it added a little spice. salting the popcorn when its warm helps alot also. 3 bags of buttered popcorn was perfect. made about 20 balls. I made these for bunco, my boyfriend kept coming and eating them!! luckily it made more than I neede "). I highly recommend this recipe. its fast easy and super delicious!!!!

I took some great advice from reviews. I used three bags of popcorn and did in three batches. I used a one cup measuring cup sprayed with Pam to make the balls and then tapped them out on wax paper. Then when they cooled I wrapped in plastic wrap. Very easy and very yummy!

Mmmm... Soooo good! I finished making them about 20 minutes ago and I've already eaten 4!! My kids really enjoyed watching me make them.. and eating them too! I added some vanilla, seperated my popcorn into 3 batches, reheating my sugar mixture each time and I formed the balls in a muffin tin. They were so easy! I highly recommend!

I will be making this recipe. Sounds great but I wont add so much sugar/corn syrup. I made popcorn balls a few yrs ago for a party. After forming the balls and letting them come to room temp., I wrapped them in different color saran wrap(blue and red/pink) and tied them with a ribbon. They looked and tasted so delicious. The kids and adults loved them!

Simply delicious! I read other reviewers comments before trying this recipe. Thank you all for your suggestions, it made the popcorn ball experience for my 8 year old daughter and I flawless!! We used 3/4 cup of unpopped popcorn, used a hot air popper, which made just a little under the amount we needed for 20 balls. The one tip I would make in addition to all the others is to place plastic wrap over a metal 1 cup measuring cup, place coated popcorn in it. Gather up plastic wrap, shape it into a ball and viola you have a popcorn ball with out much mess on your hands!! ENJOY! We are!!

Bingo! I don't ever need to try another popcorn recipe again. After reader reviews and a few modifications this recipe turned out absolutely SUPERB. It's a classic! I didn't rate it 5 stars because a perfect recipe doesn't need to be tweaked. Here's what I did: Reduce confectioner's sugar to 1.5 cups Add 1/2 tsp salt Add 1/2 tsp Maple Extract Sweet & Salty, but not too sweet and there is flavor other than just sugar!

This is a very simple and quick recipe that tastes pretty good. It's also a good way to get rid of extra popcorn however I think the ingredients should be cut in half because there is twice as much as there should be if you are going for one bag of popcorn.

I had never made popcorn balls before and figured it would be a fun activity for my sons' birthday party. All the kids loved it. I used parchment paper to grab a good chunk out of the pot and had candies in bowls across the table for the kids to add and their parents helped them roll it into a ball. Everyone had a great time making them and that was their treat to take home.

Everyone that I make these for loves them. The only change I make is putting a hershey's kiss in the middle when I make them. I tried to put M&M's in the mix, but they melt and don't look pretty. I have also used the strawberry marshmallows in them and they are very cute that way too. Great recipe!

Very Good! A little messy, but worth it. Make sure you clean your pan right away or you'll be scrubbing for hours.

This one was too sweet for me, and hard for me to make the popcorn balls stick together quickly *even following everyone's kind advice*. Only try it if you have a reeeaallly sweet sweet tooth.

I made this recipe with my son and niece, it was easy and delicious! The only thing I noticed is..if you add food coloring, you may need to add more than normal to get the correct coloring. We didn't use enough red and we got pink instead. But other than that, easy and yummy!

These are great! I'll use mini marshmallows next time because it took too long for bigger marshmallows to melt, and I think my syrup cooked a little longer than I wanted. Didn't matter! We all loved them. Oh yes, make sure to add vanilla like others have recommended too!

Just wanted to mention that even if you're tired and misread the directions (I mixed up the amount of powdered sugar with the amount of marshmallows) these are still incredibly delicious! I can't wait till I make them correctly! Yum!

This was my first time making popcorn balls. I made them to add into my Christmas gifts for my family. I popped four bags of light butter popcorn (four because there are always a lot of left over kernels in the bag), and followed reviewers recommendations by adding in 2 tsp of vanilla to the sugar mixture. It boils fast so definitely have your popcorn ready and the kernels all sifted out. The best thing I took away from all the other reviews was to spray Pam on your hands before forming the balls. I sprayed my left hand front and back and had to have my husband do my right. I'm glad I did the backs - if I felt I was running low and the mixture was starting to stick I could get some more Pam from the back of my hand. I'll have to make another batch tomorrow as it only made 18 what I would consider to be small popcorn balls. I wanted them small - about 50% bigger than a golf ball, so I thought it would yield more, but it was less! It was easy though so all I have to worry about is cleaning my cookware to reuse. Washing with near scalding water immediately after took the stickiness right off - and then you can worry about them later! All in all - super easy and delicious!
