Рецепт CARAMEL POPCORN BALLS
Posted on September 10, 2017 by The Southern Lady in FOOD TIPS this post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for more information. Popcorn balls are so easy to make and everyone loves them. These caramel popcorn balls are our favorites. I make them every year in the fall or autumn and all winter, too. Your grandchildren and children will love helping you make these treats.
5 quarts popcorn, popped ( I use two bags of Pop Weaver microwave popcorn with extra butter or you can pop your own)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses (I use Grandma’s All Natural Molasses or you can use light or dark corn syrup)
1/4 cup butter or 4 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pop the corn and spread in a large oven safe baking pan. I used a 9 x 13 cake pan. Keep warm in a 300 degree oven. Combine sugar, molasses or corn syrup, butter and salt in a saucepan on top of the stove. Melt this on low and then add the milk. Bring to a boil and turn down to simmer for about 2 minutes or until reaches the soft ball stage or 235 degrees on thermometer stirring constantly to prevent burning. I just drop a little in a cup of ice water until it makes a soft ball when you roll it between your fingers. Remove from stove, add vanilla extract and pour over warm popcorn. Stir with a spoon to make sure it is mixed well with the popped corn. Butter your hands and make into balls. I make mine about the size of a baseball. Makes 15 to 20 popcorn balls. Enjoy!
