Comment préparer Grandma Hornsby's Popcorn Balls

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ¼ cup water. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter. Continue to cook, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer. Be careful not to burn it!
While the candy mixture is cooking, place 6 cups of popped popcorn in a large bowl. Add ½ teaspoon of salt and toss to combine.
Carefully pour the hot candied mixture over the popcorn. Stir gently but thoroughly to coat all the popcorn evenly.
Grease your hands with butter or cooking spray. Quickly shape the popcorn mixture into small balls before the candy cools. Place them on wax paper to cool completely.
Once cooled, wrap individual popcorn balls in wax paper or cellophane for storage.
