Popcorn Balls
Years ago I had a wonderful neighbor who for Halloween made all of the kids in the neighborhood popcorn balls. She also made cookies and we could go over once a day to get one of them. They were the best!
A few years ago at a garage sale I found a set of popcorn ball makers in two sizes, they were dark red and made by Jolly Time popcorn. I ran across them the other day and decided to try them out. One of the reasons I never liked making popcorn balls was you need to work very fast to make the balls while the syrup is still pretty warm.
