Love this recipe! I doubled the caramel mixture like some members suggested and it came out perfect:) I even made extra caramel to dip apple slices in. The whole family loved it. Winner all the way.

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 sooo good and easy!!! Don't forget to continusly butter your hands everytime you make a ball so it will stick together.

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!

This recipe has potential. The caramel is not enough to cover all of that popcorn though! Either 1/2 the popcorn or double the caramel. It is decent- my four year old loved them. However, it wasn't something to write home about. Still looking...

2 1/2 cups of unpopped popcorn was WAY TOO MUCH. There wasn't enough caramel to go around. I made 18 very large popcorn balls and had enough popcorn left for 3 or 4 more.

It must've been my fault, b/c I used 3 bags of popcorn, instead of 2. It didn't have enough caramel for all the popcorn and just didn't suite my taste. I maybe didn't cook it long enough, I'm not sure, sorry.

That was fast! EZ and really quick - i warmed my ingredients first (room temp) and then began adding, mixing then scooping. The whole process took about 14 minutes. The kids love them, thanks for a great recipe!

I tried this recipe with my 4 year old son for his Halloween Party. It was so easy to make. The popcorn balls came out so yummy. I used microwave popcorn, so easy

Excellent. I didn't change a thing, however I wasn't exact with my measurements either! Good fun recipe to do with 2 kids and 2 adults.

I could not get the mixture to form balls, but it tasted good eaten out of the bowl. I'm pretty sure it was something I did. It seemed like it was too much popcorn and not enough caramel, so perhaps I made too much popcorn.

This was a quick, wonderful recipe. As some suggested, I used microwave popcorn, but I only needed 2 bags (it's probably just a personal preference of how "carmel-y" you want your popcorn balls, I like em' sweet). I used Orville Redenbacher's "Smart Pop" (to save the calories - he he). Seriously GREAT recipe! PS - I also used one of the recipes for Sweetened Condensed Milk found on this site and it worked better than the real stuff! (cheaper too!!)
