Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 popcorn balls

Number Of Ingredients 12

Chocolate sprinkles
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Melted chocolate
Rainbow sprinkles
Mini chocolate chips
Chopped nuts
Nonstick cooking spray
1 bag plain microwave popcorn
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup honey

Steps:

  • Grease a large mixing bowl and baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the popcorn according to packaging instructions and dump into the prepared mixing bowl. Combine the brown sugar, honey and butter in a medium heavy pot and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it boils. Continue to cook, stirring only occasionally, to prevent it from sticking, until a sugar thermometer inserted reaches 300 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the baking soda and salt, stirring rapidly. Immediately pour the caramel over the popcorn, tossing to coat. Cool until the mixture is cool enough for handling, about 5 minutes. Using a bowl of water to dampen hands, shape the popcorn into balls about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Place the caramel popcorn balls on the prepared baking sheet and pierce with a lollipop stick or skewer.
  • Then drizzle the popcorn balls with the melted chocolate and decorate.

I'm going to experiment with different toppings for these caramel popcorn balls. I think chocolate chips or nuts would be a great addition.

These caramel popcorn balls were a flop. The caramel was too runny and the popcorn was soggy.

I've tried many caramel popcorn ball recipes, but this one is by far the best. The caramel is rich and flavorful, and the popcorn is crispy and light.
