Used only 2 bags of the large Microwave Kettle corn and mixed it in a large paper bag-avoided spills and a mess. Used two butter covered baggies and shaped the balls firmly. VERY YUMMY

I had been curious as to how to make popcorn balls, so I found this recipe and was pretty much pleased with the result I made these at work. There was none left of the first batch so I ended up making another batch. Good recipe.

Perfect!!! since this makes a lot I mixed it in a 13 gallon trash bag. I lined a 5 gallon bucket (just for support) then put the popcorn then let the carmel mixture stop bubbling before I poured it right in the middle of the popcorn. then I pulled the bag out of the bucket tied of the top then I just tumbled it around to mix it all over. really fast and I din't have to worry about the bowl. then I just buttered my hands and formed the balls and threw the bag out when they were done. I made about 30 balls and out them in little sandwich baggies. too many for my family so we had fun going aroung our neighborhood giving them to everyone we knew.Very Fun!!

Delicious for sure but the recipe didn't make enough caramel coating, in my opinion. I cooked butter-flavored popcorn in the microwave and picked out any unpopped kernels. The caramel didn't coat each piece of popcorn but it did hold the balls together well. My kids loved munching on these while on a walk. Yum!

I tried these today to give away for Christmas. I used 1 and 1/2 cups unpopped corn and made it in our airpopper. It made lots of popcorn balls, so there was plenty for giving and eating! My four children absolutely loved them, and they were very easy to make...I was quite surprised with the simplicity. It is raining today, and that seemed to have no effect on this delicious treat. I did cook it to soft ball stage.

I love this recipe!!! Who knew that making caramel popcorn was so easy! I made this for my kids halloween party and I kept munching on them while I was forming them into balls. These are very addictive. I will definitely making them again for the holidays. My son suggested adding honey roasted peanuts next time. Very good recipe!!

This has a wonderful flavor. I couldn't find my thermometer, so I cooked to the soft ball stage by testing with water. I used 3 bags of microwave popcorn, but may use 4 next time. The balls were a little too soft and chewy, so I put in a 225 degree oven until they were a little crispy - about 30 minutes. They could have gone longer - they were still chewy, but not as soft. I cloroxed my sink & used it to put the popcorn in and mix - hot water cleaned it right up.

great recipe! I agree with other reviewers that is way too much popcorn for the caramel. I used 1/2 cup popcorn, and the recommeded amount of caramel and they were delicious and still made about 10 balls. Baggies on the hands is the way to go, this would not have worked without them. Fun, delicious and easy clean up. Thanks for a great recipe

These were good, but just wanted to note that I tried the suggestion of using a paper bag to coat batches of popcorn and a lot of it stuck to the bag. It was a waste of time & messier than it needed to be. I used ziplocks over my hands which made making the balls very quick & easy.

Tastes great! I didn't have corn syrup so I didn't use it. I also didn't have a candy thermometer, just boiled it for about 5 minutes and it was fine. Don't use microwave popcorn, that stuff is ! Full of hydrogenated fat (even the American public has taken notice of how bad that is). Take 5 more minutes and make the real stuff!
