Halloween in March.

I was in the mood for a little taste of Halloween.

And, there were several notable treats to seek out back when I was a child. The house that gave out chips. The king size candy bars. The candied apples…

But, for me, the tops was the popcorn balls.

Well, I may not have THAT recipe, but I DO have one heck of a Caramel Corn recipe.

What’s more, it’s the only recipe I have that comes from my dad. He only made it once in my memory, but I was there to record it at the time.

1 can Eagle Brand Milk.
1 cup Light Karo Syrup
1 Cube butter
2 Cup Brown Sugar

Bring Sugar and Syrup to a boil. Add mild and butter, Cook to soft ball. (8-10 minutes)

Now, the thing is, this makes a lot of caramel corn…what, exactly was I going to do with it all?

That’s where the popcorn balls came in.

I sent the boys out to leave them on neighbor’s doorsteps as a surprise. I imagine they’re all curious where it come from, and that makes me smile. A little trick, and a treat. Halloween in March.

  1. Now I know!!! The only person that likes to bring me snacks (to fill my sugar cravings), I should have known. Thanks Cole!!! I haven’t had a good popcorn ball in ages. I like your sneakiness.

    I was also going to ask you. They guy is taking the frosted glass out of the frame to replace it as well. If he doesn’t shatter it, would you want that? I don’t think it’s double pained so it might be cuttable.
