Trick-or-treaters are always happy to receive these tasty popcorn balls, says Betty Claycomb, field editor from Alverton, Pennsylvania. I love making them as well as eating them. Ingredients:
5 cups popped popcorn |
1 cup dry roasted peanuts |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup light corn syrup |
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Place popcorn and peanuts in a large bowl; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar and corn syrup to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Quickly pour over popcorn mixture and mix well.
2. When cool enough to handle, quickly shape into ten 2-1/2-in. balls. Let stand at room temperature until firm; wrap in plastic wrap. Yield: 10 popcorn balls.
