GRANDMA'S CARAMEL POPCORN BALLS



Grandma's Caramel Popcorn Balls image

My mom made these delicious popcorn balls when I was growing up. While doing my Christmas candy and cookie baking, I came across her recipe. I made the family recipe for the first time this year. My daughters, grown with their own families, asked why I hadn't made these sooner. Thirty plus years later, this recipe will now be a family tradition at Christmas.

CANDY BAR POPCORN BALLS



Candy Bar Popcorn Balls image

When watching a movie, you've got to have popcorn....and something sweet! So, I've combined both movie theater treats with these caramel-flavored popcorn balls that get a dunk in chocolate and then are rolled in crushed cookies, peanuts, candy bars or toffee. It's the best of both worlds!

Categories     dessert

Time 2h50m

Yield 12 popcorn balls

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
18 cups popped salted popcorn (start with 2/3 cup kernels)
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing hands
Two 12-ounce packages milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil or shortening
1 1/2 cups crushed salted dry-roasted peanuts
Additional optional toppings: crushed buttery finger candy bars, chopped toffee, crushed Oreos

Steps:

  • Combine the butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar and corn syrup in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook to 240 degrees F (hard ball stage), about 11 minutes. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and salt and boil 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour the caramel over the popcorn in a large bowl and stir to coat evenly. Shape into 12 balls using buttered or greased hands.
  • Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals until melted. Place the peanuts in a shallow dish. Dip the popcorn balls halfway into the chocolate, then dip in the crushed peanuts (or other toppings). Remove to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to harden, about 2 hours.

PEANUT-POPCORN BALLS



Peanut-Popcorn Balls image

For anyone who grew up loving Cracker Jack, Crunch 'n Munch, or Fiddle Faddle, our caramel-coated peanut-popcorn balls are like edible time machines. A little baking soda in the caramel keeps it light and lacy, and baking the balls after forming helps set and dry them, so they end up crisp, not tacky. Wrap them in plain parchment and striped waxed paper for the full bonbon effect.

Categories     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield Makes 14

Number Of Ingredients 9

14 cups Popped Popcorn (from 1/2 cup kernels)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsulfured molasses
2 teaspoons kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup roasted red-skinned salted peanuts or cocktail peanuts
Vegetable-oil cooking spray, for gloves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 225°F. Place popcorn in a large bowl. Melt butter in a medium heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup; cook, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly combined. Increase heat to high; bring to a boil without stirring. Cook until mixture registers 245° to 248° on a candy thermometer, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Turn off heat; stir in molasses, salt, and baking soda to completely combine. Keep stirring until mixture turns very foamy and lightens in color and bubbles up quite a bit.
  • Pour hot syrup over popcorn mixture and immediately sprinkle peanuts over top; stir until all kernels and nuts are coated. Let stand briefly. Meanwhile, put on a pair of rubber gloves and spray them with cooking spray (this isn't required, but it will help protect your hands from the heat, and it's important to work while the mixture is still warm).
  • Working quickly, use your hands to form mixture into balls, each about 1 cup in volume (if you have a 1-cup scoop, use that!). Transfer balls to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all have been formed, go back and use your hands to press them into tighter balls, so they really hold together. Let stand 15 minutes.
  • Bake 45 minutes. (If one or two balls fall apart during baking, let cool briefly, then re-form.) Let cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.
