Home | Recipes | H
Candy Halloween

Ingredients:

  • 8 c Popped corn
  • 1 c Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 c Corn syrup
  • 1/3 c Water
  • 1 tb Butter
  • 1/2 ts Salt
  • 1 ts Vanilla
  • 1 c Orange and black gumdrops or jujubes, chopped

Directions:

Currants and diced apricots can replace the candy.
 
Place popped corn in bowl; set aside.
 
In small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring sugar, corn syrup, water, butter and salt to boil; cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Cook, without stirring, for 10 minutes or until at hard-ball stage of 254F 123C on candy thermometer, or until 1/2 ts syrup dropped into cold water forms rigid but still slightly pliable ball. Remove from heat. Wearing oven mitts to shield against splatters, carefully stir in vanilla.
 
Pour over popped corn; using greased spoon, toss until coated. Stir in candy. Wearing rubber gloves, form into 2-inch balls; let cool on baking sheet.
