Directions Grandma's Caramel Popcorn Balls
Directions
-
Sort through popcorn, discarding unpopped kernels.
Combine evaporated milk, sugar, corn syrup, margarine, and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stir constantly until caramel reaches 246 degrees F (119 degrees C) on a candy thermometer, about 5 minutes.
Pour some popcorn into a very large bowl. Pour in some of the caramel, stir until evenly coated. Add remaining popcorn and caramel in batches, stirring well after each addition.
Scoop some of the popcorn mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap. Gather and twist the plastic wrap to gently shape into a ball. Place popcorn ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, repeat with remaining mixture. Let cool until set, about 15 minutes.
