Delicious! I shaped them by spraying a metal half cup measure and using it as a mold. I washed my hands and resprayed the cup several times during the process. The popcorn balls slid out easily and the size was uniform.

Great! So for those who had problems making balls, use stove top not air popped as the oil in the popcorn holds it together! -
Easy peasy and yummy in the tummy! My daughter has been asking for popcorn balls and this is the one we chose. We're making them again.?? -
These have a wonderful taste and would have gotten 5 stars, but I couldn't get them to stick together, they kept falling apart! Maybe it's because I added Candy Corn to mine, but together or not, they are very easy and very tasty. :) -
These turned out great. They were really easy to make and not to sweet. I did add more popcorn then the recipe called for. Thanks for te great recipe.

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!
