4. Popcorn Balls
Last but not least, these popcorn pops are a must-have!
To make 12 two-inch popcorn pops you will need:
– 6 cups of popped corn
Sticky Mixture:
Combine 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup reduced-calorie light corn syrup and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. As soon as the syrup starts to bubble, cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is melted and the mixture darkens, about 2 minutes. Proceed with Step 3.
Coat with Roll-Ins:
Coconut flakes
Finely chopped nuts
Sprinkles
1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Fill a bowl with ice water. Put 6 heaping cups of popped corn in a large bowl.
2. Prepare the sticky mixture
3. Immediately stir the mixture into the popcorn until well coated.
4. Dip both hands in the ice water. Quickly and firmly press the popcorn mixture into 2-inch balls. Roll in or sprinkle with 1/4 cup Roll-Ins, if using, while still a little damp and sticky. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
5. To store, individually wrap in plastic and store in an airtight container.
