Holiday Gift Idea: Popcorn Balls
 I just finished making 160 popcorn balls to give away to neighbors and friends. I dyed half red and half green and then wrapped them in pink or green plastic wrap. I thought these would be a pretty economical thing to make this year as my only expense was butter. All of the other ingredients were pantry items. Popcorn Balls: (makes 40) 8 quarts popped popcorn 4 sticks butter (1 pound) 1 bag mini marshmallows 1 cup corn syrup 2 2/3 cups sugar 2 tsp vanilla food color, if desired In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter. Add the sugar and corn syrup. Stir constantly until it boils and then continue for 3 minutes more. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla and coloring, if desired.  In a huge bowl, combine the popped corn and the marshmallows.  Pour the hot butter mixture over the popcorn and stir until completely covered. Let sit about 5-10 minutes.  Butter you hands and form into balls. Place the popcorn balls onto waxed paper lined baking sheets. Wrap with plastic wrap.  related searches : Holiday
