Ingredients/Components

  • granulated sugar - 1/2 c
  • butter or margarine - 1 Tbsp
  • molasses - 1 c

How to make popcorn balls:

Bring to boiling point and let boil until it will become brittle when a little is poured in a cupful of cold water. Pour the mixture over popped corn that has been slightly salted. Stir the corn constantly, so the kernels may become well coated. Shape into ball using as little pressure as possible. Dip the hands in water before forming each ball. Keep in cool place as they get soft and tough in warm place.

This recipe is very old. You can use candy thermometer to check molasses mixture. It would probably be 285° to 290° on candy thermometer. I believe this was the one Mom used.
