Here's one for the "kitchen challenged". Ask the kids to help, cause they'll love them too! Great for the holidays!
Caramel Popcorn Balls
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
10 cups popped popcorn
Melt the butter in a soup pot. Add corn syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla.
Stir & bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add popcorn and mix in. Put waxed paper on your countertop. Form popcorn balls and lay on wax paper to harden. Makes about a dozen balls.
Make some extra popcorn, give the kids a needle and some thread, and they'll be busy for hours. Then help them put their "masterpieces" on the tree.
Just remember to let them know how good it looks as you munch the popcorn balls.
