Good, but I seemed to have a lot more syrup than I needed. I also will salt the heck out of popcorn next time - I love the sweet/salty mix. And definitely grease the bowl you're mixing in!!!

Was craving popcorn balls and thought I'd try it since I had some corn syrup in the house. No candy thermometer, so I just kept an eye on it and dripped some into a bowl of cold water every now and then until it looked right. Easily took me 30 minutes of boiling. Mixed some bourbon in with the vanilla, wish I'd used a bit more. But worked great with the popcorn I popped on the stove. I'd recommend greasing the bowl, though, ended up with a big popcorn candy mess in the bottom when i was done.

I thought 1 1/3 cups of water seemed like too much, but went exactly by the recipe using my new digital candy thermometer to get it to the exact temp recommended. When I poured the mixture onto my Orville Redenbacher's popcorn (popped on the stove, not microwave, it turned into a big pile of mush.
What a waste of time and ingredients. I expected better from Paula Deen

First of all this recipe is a joke. I wasted 2 cups of sugar on this thing. When I added the liquid ingredients to the popcorn it turned into a big pile of mosh. Number one rule of cooking water and popcorn don't go well so don't use large amounts. I wouldn't even rate this recipe But I had to so I gave a number one but really it should be a negative 5.

Tonight my friend and I made these, and other than cleanup and forming the balls, it was very simple! I think to make the formation of the balls easier and better, we needed to stir up the caramel sauce more thoroughly in the bowl of popcorn. We used orville redenbacher kernels, and it worked perfectly. Also it was a nice ratio of caramel to popcorn.

I read the reviews before trying out this recipe. If you get the mixture to the proper temp/ consistency the popcorn will not get soggy.

Living down south in the humidity, you have to make these when the weather is perfect! I added a little extra popcorn since there was so much of the liquid, had trouble forming them into balls but my kids couldn't get enough!
