It’s time for Halloween Tricks and Treats!

Here is a Fun Recipe to Try at Home

Ingredients

• 1 package microwave popcorn, popped (about 9 to 10 cups)
• 1 cup salted peanuts
• 1 cup coarsely chopped pretzels
• 1 cup Karo® Light Corn Syrup
• 1/4 cup butter OR margarine
• 1 package (11 ounces) butterscotch chips OR white chocolate chips
• 1 cup candy coated peanut butter pieces
• 30 lollipop sticks, about 5 inches in length
• White chocolate, melted for decorating
• Small candies

 
Directions
1. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Add popcorn, peanuts and pretzels.

2. Cook corn syrup and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, bring to a full boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat; add butterscotch chips, stirring until melted. Pour over popcorn mixture and mix well. Stir in candies.

3. Let cool until easy to handle. Form into balls about 2 inches in diameter using lightly greased hands (or use gloves). Place each ball on waxed paper. Let sit 1 hour. Insert a lollipop stick about 1 inch into each ball.

Each ball can be wrapped individually in plastic wrap, then tied with a bit of ribbon. Popcorn balls are best when served within 1 to 2 days.

Decorating Tips: Melt white chocolate. Insert stick into popcorn ball and dip into white chocolate, turning to coat. Finish with candy eyes or other small candies.
