My favorite popcorn ball recipe ever! So easy, no constant stirring. I cook until it reaches soft-ball stage for chewy texture :)

I cut the water in half , used sorghum instead of molassas and added a can of Spanish peanuts. The trick is to cook the syrup a little longer than soft ball but not quite hard crack. It takes away the stickyness. Flavor was lovely and everyone called for more. It helps to take out just the popcorn you can ball up quickly and put the rest in a warm oven. You may need to reform the balls if you make them when the popcorn is too hot, but that's no big deal. Just squeeze them together again.

These were great! Like others have noted, it does take awhile to get to hard ball stage. Well worth the wait!

Great recipe. Reminded me of my Dads popcorn balls. Those of you who had trouble with the recipe didn't let the mixture boil long enough. So what if it takes a few extra minutes. It is well worth it!

I loved this recipe it was simple enough for me and my children to make it together! We used a candy thermometer to make sure the syrup was the right temperature.. at the end I lightly salted the popcorn balls to give it a "kettle corn" taste.

Tastes just like the old days. Next time I'll use food coloring to make them more festive and so I can easily tell which popcorn isn't coated.

The best popcorn ball recipe that I've found in awhile. I made these for our neighbors Halloween Party and Haunted Barn and they were a huge success.
