Made this for the children for Thanksgiving and they LOVED them. I really liked them too. They were so quick and easy to make. I followed the recipe except I used butter instead of margarine, golden corn syrup as that is all I had and didn't add the salt. I used a bag of movie theater popcorn. They weren't real sticky and they didn't get real hard that you couldn't eat them. Everyone loved them. Great popcorn ball recipe!
