Halloween Popcorn balls for sell :

The Library sells these cute Halloween themed Popcorn balls to raise money for our projects we do at the Library.

• 7 quart of Pop Popcorn 
• 1 C sugar
• 1 C light corn syrup
• 1/4 C water
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 Tablespoon butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 
• Halloween sprinkles, M& M and more

1. Place popcorn in a large baking pan; keep warm in a 200° oven.
2. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water and salt. Cook over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 235° (soft-ball stage).
3. Remove from the heat. Add the butter, vanilla and food coloring if desired; stir until butter is melted. Immediately pour over popcorn and stir until evenly coated.
4. When mixture is cool enough to handle, quickly shape into 3-in. balls, dipping hands in cold water to prevent sticking.

Have Fun and Enjoy a Game of Pumpkin Toss with your family!
