Here is the recipe for the Miniature Popcorn Balls on a stick that my cousin made for the " She's About to Pop" baby shower we held recently.
The original recipe for regular popcorn balls came my friend Debbie. (Thanks Deb!)
YOU WILL NEED:
7 cups popped popcorn
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla
~~~~~~~
(for drizzling)
Pretzel sticks
Milk chocolate chips
White chocolate chips
Caramel
In saucepan, mix sugar, water, syrup, salt and butter. Cook till 250 degrees on a candy thermometer or until a few drops form a hard ball when dropped into cold water.
Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla , by pouring a thin stream over the corn, stirring constantly to mix.
To FORM BALLS
Take a small amount and form (make them golf ball size) around pretzel stick. Place them on a greased cookie sheet. Drizzle melted milk chocolate chips, melted white chocolate chips, and melted caramel. It doesn't take much, (half a coffee cup is what I used.) I then poured the Chocolate and caramel in a zip lock baggie (place it in a cup to stabilize )cut off the corner, then drizzle. I bet you could also sprinkle chopped nuts on them before the chocolate sets up. Pretty simple.
Enjoy!
