My sister, mother and I enjoyed making these popcorn bombs tonight. We hope you enjoy making them, and eating them as well.(copyright 2007)
INGREDIENTS
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/4 cup water
• salt to taste (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or other flavor such as peanut butter or white chocolate)
• 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar (optional)
• 5 quarts popped popcorn
• 3 cups slightly chopped peanuts (or M&Ms, crushed Butterfinger, etc) If adding this, reduce popcorn to 4 quarts
DIRECTIONS
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter and water. Stir and heat to hard-crack stage or 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove from heat, add vanilla or vinegar; mix well. (to test hard crack stage, drop sugar mixture into a bowl of ice water(with ice in it) and wait a few seconds. When you pull it out (carefully, could be hot) you should be able to snap it. *crack* If it is still moldable or stretchy, it’s not time yet.
2. Pour slowly over popped popcorn while stirring. Wait 5 minutes and shape into 3 inch round balls. (butter hands well to avoid sticking)
Have a great day!
