I’ve made these for Cub Scouts and a second time for a Halloween party. These are quite messy to make, being organized truly helps. . I started by making 3 regular bags microwave popcorn per batch sorting out the hulls as I went, then making the syrup. I found double boiling the syrup easier than microwaving. I double boiled the syrup in a medium stainless bowl and added small amounts of syrup to the popcorn working the syrup in. When the syrup began to set up, it’s easily reheated. I mixed the popcorn and syrup in a large stainless bowl, when this began to set up, it could be put atop the boiling pot and reheat the entire concoction. As a result my balls were evenly coated and turned out beautifully consistent. I used my wrist to spray my hands with an aerosol vegetable oil spay. I did find the recipe only made about 12 smaller than tennis balls. Kids love them, and they are a huge hit. Kelli, thanks for sharing.
