Candy Corn Popcorn Balls

These playful popcorn balls combine the nostalgic crunch of caramel corn with the sweet, buttery flavor of candy corn—perfect for Halloween parties or after-school treats.

Ingredients:

• 10 cups freshly popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup unpopped kernels)
• 1 cup candy corn
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prep: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the popcorn and candy corn in a large bowl, picking out any unpopped kernels.
2. Make the caramel: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the 1/2 cup butter with the 1/2 cup corn syrup, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir constantly until the mixture boils, then let it simmer for 2 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and stir in the 1/2 tsp vanilla.
3. Coat the popcorn: Pour the hot caramel over the popcorn and candy corn. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold until evenly coated (the candy corn will soften slightly).
4. Shape the balls: Let the mixture cool for 1–2 minutes until safe to handle. With lightly greased hands, press handfuls into 2.5-inch balls, packing firmly. Place on the prepared sheet to set for 20 minutes.

The magic here? The candy corn melts just enough to create sticky-sweet pockets without losing its iconic shape. For extra fun, roll the edges in sprinkles before the caramel sets!

Tip: If the caramel hardens too fast, warm it briefly on the stove with 1 tbsp water to loosen.
