Time 35m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 cups popped popcorn
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apple juice
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups dried cranberries (nuts, may be substituted for part of the 2 cups of fruit. cashews, peanuts, shelled sunflower seeds) or 2 cups dried fruit (nuts, may be substituted for part of the 2 cups of fruit. cashews, peanuts, shelled sunflower seeds)

Steps:

  • Butter a very large bowl. Add popped popcorn and your selection of the 2 cups of fruit and/or nuts. I like 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries and 1/2 cup chopped cashews.
  • Heat brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt, and juice until just boiling. Pour over dry ingredients in bowl.
  • Butter hands with additional butter or cooking spray and form into tennis size balls. Compact lightly to get the mixture to hold a ball shape. Set aside. Wrap each popcorn ball in plastic wrap.
  • Option: The balls can be drizzled with melted chocolate for gift giving. I like to use white chocolate on the cranberry/ cashew ones. After wrapping with plastic wrap, I tie with a burgandy colored ribbon.

I had a hard time getting the popcorn balls to hold together. I think I may have used too much butter.
