My hubby requested popcorn balls yesterday (which I never make) and I thought I'd ask here for a good recipe. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Oh, I'd be interested in this recipe, too. I'm going to try forming popcorn balls out of my caramel corn recipe come the holidays, but I bet there's some other nice recipes that aren't caramel based...??

Wow Kim, your hubby is in luck... In MaryJane's new book "MaryJane's Outpost" she give 3 pages to the topic of popcorn (yum) with some awesome recipes for Cracker Jill"s and Trail Mix Popcorn (pages 96,97,98).....So many varieties too.....I really want to try the trail Mix popcorn Balls...... My 11 year old and I did the homemade Smoores (baking the graham crakers and homemade marshmellow)... (MaryJane's Idea book) and they were so yummy.. I think it be will a family favorite.... So I think we will try the popcorn too....
