Wow, easily the best popcorn balls I've had. The molasses and cocoa nibs are what make these both tasty and unique. But, while I expect them to be chewy, these were impossible to eat without worrying about your teeth or fillings. I stopped the syrup right at 250 (firm ball, but next time I may try pulling it at 245. Hopefully that will strike a balance of holding together but not quite yanking your teeth out.

Loved this recipe. I made this last night for my kids. I used colored popcorn and chocolate covered nibs. Really easy and yummy. Will be making these again.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE! I have made them for the last couple of years, and have heard nothing but rave reviews! For the kids, I omit the cocoa nibs, but other than that, follow the recipe to a "T" and it is super easy. Having made more traditional popcorn balls growing up, I like these so much better, bc they actually TASTE like something, they aren't just sweet and sticky. Will be making these this weekend for goody bags for my daughter's birthday.

Excellent flavor. How would you make it less sticky? I would like to keep my teeth. Some peanuts added and you would have an excellent copy of a great American box snack.

Very Yummy and super Sticky! I used too much popcorn so I had a lot of crumbs leftover, my son is taking of those for me!
I planned to make popcorn balls tonight for a school bake sale tomorrow and was pleasantly surprised that Alton had them on his show tonight! Very easy recipe to follow!

Very good, kids loved them. Just a few warnings: the pot will boil over if it's not big enough, I should have buttered the mixing bowl that I used to mix popcorn/hot candy, it stuck to the inside of the bowl a lot, and, it sticks to your teeth, might even pull a filling out if you aren't careful.....but don't let any of that stop you from making them. The stickier the better for the kids:
