Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 12 cups Popped Popcorn, Cooled
- 1 cup Water
- 1-2/3 cup Sugar
- 1/3 cup Light Corn Syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Cotton Candy Flavor Oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Remove as many loose kernels from the popcorn as possible.
- In a large pot, whisk together water, sugar and corn syrup over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it bubble for 5 to 6 minutes, until it becomes syrupy. Do not walk away as it might bubble over (reduce the heat if it looks high) and do not stir—you can brush down the sides with a pastry brush. You want to sugar to remain clear and not turn golden.
- Remove the syrupy sugar from the heat and stir in the cotton candy oil and vanilla extract. If desired, stir in a drop of pink or blue food coloring. Fold in the popcorn gently, making sure you coat all over it, tossing well. Once the syrup has cooled to the point that you can tough it, take handfuls and form the popcorn into balls. Stick a popsicle stick, dessert stick or even a straw down in the center to make the popcorn balls easy to grab.
- If you want to make them looking more candy-like, you can melt some colored chocolate wafers in the microwave and dip the bottoms of the popcorn balls in the chocolate. Then cover with sprinkles.
