I listened to the other reviews and used half of the amount of popcorn that the recipe called for and they turned out great.... I took them to a child's halloween party and both the kid and adults loved them!!!! My boyfriend asked to me to make another batch. This is a great recipe!!!

The caramel was delicious! I even used the caramel as an apple dip.

I really like these a lot, I have made them twice now and I am sure I am not doing it entirely correctly as I dont have a candy thermometer so I just guess at the right temperature, but the finished product comes out great for me. I use less popcorn.

These popcorn balls were very good. The caramel coating was so good and easy to make. The only change I made was that I used only 1/2 the popcorn suggested. I can't imagine if I had used all the popcorn. As it was, the coating barely was enough to coat the amount of popcorn I used! Still, a very good recipe worth keeping to make again! Thanks!

My Kids and husband loved these. Only used 1 cup of unpopped popcorn and we still got plenty. Warning: The carmel is really hot especially if you use extra carmel. I found that if I kept my hands buttered it didn't burn as much.

These were sticky and gooey! Kids (and parents) had a blast making them! We only popped 1 cup of popcorn and it still made 20 balls...we happen to like sticky and gooey! Delicious and fun!!

These were a hit! Making them was a fun family activity. We made all the popcorn, but only ended up using about 2/3 of it, because we wanted more caramel. We made our balls a little smaller and ended up with 50! Will keep hold of the recipe for next time.

Awesome! My guests loved this treat! I found the cleanup easy -- as long as you have hot water on hand. I also used microwave popcorn and it was a cinch. I only baked it for 1/2 hour and found that to be enough time. It was a tad salty (could have been the popcorn I used though) so next time I'll use less salt or unsalted butter. VERY YUMMY!!!

Already made it twice. I prefer to make slightly less popcorn than suggested so my popcorn balls are extra caramel-y. Love it, love it, LOVE IT!

These are great, too great, I ate the whole whack after they were done. I like mine a little softer so I'll cook the syrup to soft next time.

Loved it. Cooked to soft ball stage (my thermometer was wacko.) Stayed soft. Only needed about 1 1/2 cups unpopped corn. Got over 20 balls. Yum! Will make again. Mild flavor.

This was fantastic. My whole family loved them. I used an air popper instead of cooking the popcorn over the stove. I also found it very easy to make into balls; I used ziplock sandwich size bags and put them over my hands. It kept the popcorn from sticking. This is one I will do again!

I used half the popping corn asked for and I ended up with 17 popcorn balls. I still used the same amount of caramel, so they would be extra good. These will definitely be used for Christmas gifts.
