Grandma Gertie’s Famous Popcorn Ball Recipe:

  • 2 Cups Sugar

  • 2/3 Cup White Corn Syrup

  • 2/3 Cup Water

  • 1/2 Cup Butter

  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt

  • 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla

  • 1 Cup Uncooked Plain Popcorn Kernels (3 quarts popped)

  • Food Coloring of choice

Pop plain popcorn in air popper or paper bag in the microwave 1/4 cup at a time. Pour popped popcorn in a large bowl or roasting pan and remove un-popped kernels. Place bowl or roasting pan in 300 degree oven to keep warm.

Stir and cook corn syrup, water, butter, and salt until sugar in dissolved and a candy thermometer reaches 270 (or 260ish for a chewier texture). Add vanilla and food coloring and remove from heat.

Pour over popcorn stirring with a large spoon to coat evenly. We prefer to not form into balls as it is easier to eat.
