Popcorn balls are a fun treat for both Halloween and Christmas. You can dye the balls orange for Halloween, and red or green for Christmas. You can also wrap white popcorn
balls up in colored cellophane or colored Saran Wrap to give them a holiday feel.
White Popcorn Balls
2 c white sugar * 1 c light corn syrup * 1/4 c butter * 1/4 c water * salt to taste * 1 t vanilla * 5 quarts popped popcorn
