    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    1 c Sugar
    1 c Brown sugar -- firm pack
    1 c Light corn syrup
    2/3 c Water
    1 lb Butter
    2 c Pecan halves -- toasted
    2 c Cashews -- lightly toasted
    8 c Popped popcorn

    toss the nuts and popcorn together. Carefully pour the

    hot syrup over the popcorn- nut mixture. Carefully,
    but quickly, toss the mixture with a long-handled
    wooden spoon to coat the popcorn and nuts completely
    with syrup. As soon as the mixture is cool enough to
    handle, quickly shape into 3" balls and place the
    balls onto a nonstick or lightly oiled baking sheet to
    coool. Store, tightly wrapped, in a cool place. Wrap
    popcorn balls individually in squares of amber
    cellophane, tied up with gold or orange and black
    ribbon (these are meant for Halloween). Or pile the
    balls together into a basket with red apples and wrap
    the basket up in cellophane with orange and black
    ribbon.

    White Chocolate Popcorn Balls

    Recipe By :Recipe courtesy Gale Gand
    Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories :

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    8 ounces white chocolate -- chopped
    4 cups popped popcorn
    4 tablespoons rainbow colored sprinkles
    Lollipop sticks

    Line 2 12-muffin muffin pans by placing a sheet of plastic wrap over the pan and pushing down into the cups slightly.

    Over barely simmering water melt the chopped chocolate, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and carefully stir in the popcorn carefully to coat it evenly with melted chocolate. Working quickly, take off large spoonfuls of coated popcorn and form into a loose ball the size of a golf ball. Place it in the cup of the lined muffin pans to rest and sprinkle with the colored sprinkles. Insert a lollipop stick in the bottom and let it set up. To hasten the set-up, place them in the refrigerator. These can be wrapped in colored cellophane with twisted ends. Store at room temperature.
