Popcorn Balls
I inspired this recipe from an idea I saw online. There were these delicious "popcorn balls", however they were made with molasses, corn syrup, and other highly fattening ingredients. I switched up this recipe to make it my own. I substituted the artificial sugary ingredients for natural alternatives and a healthier popcorn. This is a great treat for a sweet and savory snack.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 quarts Skinny Pop Salted Popcorn
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup agave syrup
2 tsp vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp light butter
ground cinnamon to taste
Optional: add in raisins, chocolate chips, nuts, sesame seeds, flax seeds etc. when you are forming the shaping the popcorn balls for some extra flavor.
Instructions: (makes about 12 balls)
Spray non-stick cooking spray over a large baking sheet.
Combine honey, agave syrup, and vinegar in a medium saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches soft crack stage. Remove from heat; stir in the light butter.
Pour syrup over popcorn; stir until all popcorn is coated. Let mixture cool slightly; shape into 2 1/2-inch balls.
Evenly sprinkle cinnamon over the popcorn balls.
