Untried, but looks fairly good...and most seasonal! Caramel Popcorn Balls Ingredients: 8 Cups Popped Popcorn (about 1/2 cup unpopped) 3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar (packed) 1/2 Cup Light corn syrup 1/2 Cup Water 1 Tsp. White vinegar 1/4 Tsp. Salt 3/4 Cup Butter Method: Measure popped corn into large bowl. Combine sugars, corn syrup, water vinegar and salt in 2 quart saucepan. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Cook, stirring constantly, to 260 degrees on candy thermometer (or to hard-ball stage). Reduce heat to low; stir in butter until melted. Pour syrup in thin stream over conr in bowl, stirring until corn is well coated. Cool slightly. Butter hands; shape mixture into three-inch balls and place on waxed paper. Makes about 16 balls. Notes: My dentist was just bemoaning the success of fluoridated water. This should do nicely towards reducing his unhappiness. Happy Hyperglycemia, Dave Ihnat ihuxx!ignatz
