The ingredients needed to make Simple Chewy Popcorn Balls:

Steps to make Simple Chewy Popcorn Balls:

- Remove from heat and pour slowly into the bowl of kettlecorn and mix it in as you are pouring. Immediately begin mixing quickly when done pouring. Mix the kettlecorn and corn syrup/sugar solution well. WARNING: It will be very hot! Be careful!
- Continue mixing for a couple minutes, until it begins to get slightly hard and is cool enough to mold into balls. Be careful not to let it cool too much or it will be too hard to form into balls.
- Take a handful of the kettlecorn and form it into a firm, compressed ball. Repeat this until you run out of kettlecorn.
