Printed from COOKS.COM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/2 c. sugar
4 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/2 tsp. salt
8 c. popped popcorn
Place the sugar, light corn syrup, butter, and salt in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a steady simmer. Add the popped popcorn to the saucepan. Cook for several more minutes, stirring, until the popcorn is entirely coated.
Remove from the stove and turn the burner off. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes. Fill a medium-sized bowl with cold water. Dip your hands into the water. Shape the popcorn into balls about the size of tennis balls.
Place the balls on a sheet of wax paper. After they are completely cool, place each in a plastic sandwich bag or wrap individually in plastic wrap.
