Let's just get into the making of another Halloween favorite, POPCORN BALLS.
Here are the simple instructions:
Pop the popcorn directly before you begin making the balls. Fresh popcorn will result in better-tasting popcorn balls.
Form the popcorn balls while the liquid mixture is still hot.
For an easier formation process, grease your hands with vegetable shortening before forming the popcorn balls.
Pack the popcorn balls loosely. If they are packed too tightly, they will be difficult to eat.
