Delicious popcorn balls with flavors of vanilla and brown sugar, ideal for gift-giving or snacking. Popcorn is enhanced by the taste of vanilla and sweet caramel, creating a delightful treat.
Ingredients: 10 cups popped popcorn. 1 cup brown sugar. 1/2 cup unsalted butter. 1/4 cup light corn syrup. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 250F 120C. Place popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, let it cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes to reach the soft ball stage 235-240F or 113-116C. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn, stirring to coat evenly. Spread the coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. While still warm, shape the popcorn into balls using lightly greased hands. Allow the popcorn balls to cool completely before serving or wrapping individually.
