  3. Get 1 cup sugar
  4. Take 7 dash food colouring (optional)

Steps to make Simple Chewy Popcorn Balls:
  1. Make both bags of kettlecorn. Get out a large bowl and fill it with both bags of the kettlecorn.
  2. Get out a medium pot and set the burner on medium heat.
  3. Add in your corn syrup first, then your sugar.

  6. 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!
  7. 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.
  8. Take a handful of the kettlecorn and form it into a firm, compressed ball. Repeat this until you run out of kettlecorn.
  9. Let the popcorn balls cool on a plate spaced far enough apart that they don't touch one another. Until they become less sticky, pick them up off the plate frequently so that they don't stick.
