These popcorn treat balls are a delightful snack, perfect for any occasion. They're sweet, crunchy, and fun to make.
Combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt in a medium saucepan.
Stir constantly to prevent the sugar from burning.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a soft boil.
Use a candy thermometer to ensure the syrup reaches the right consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Adding the vanilla off the heat preserves its flavor.
Pour the syrup over the popcorn in a large mixing bowl and mix well to coat evenly.
Work quickly to coat the popcorn before the syrup hardens.
Once the mixture is cool enough to handle but still warm, form it into balls using your hands.
Lightly grease your hands to prevent sticking.
Let the popcorn balls cool completely before serving.
Place the balls on wax paper to cool and set.
