These sweet and savory popcorn balls can be packaged in cellophane for holiday gift-giving or rolled into minis for a festive Santa treat.

Ingredients

1 bag (6.75 oz) Smartfood® White Cheddar Popcorn
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup butter
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda

How to make it

1

Add Smartfood^® White Cheddar Popcorn to large bowl; set aside.
2

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, butter, 1/4 cup water, lemon juice, and salt; bring to boil, swirling to combine. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes or until caramel reaches 245°F and reaches a firm ball stage (when a spoonful of caramel is added to a small dish of cold water and it forms a pliable ball of caramel).
3

Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and baking soda. Working quickly, pour over popcorn, tossing evenly to coat. Let it cool slightly.
4

With buttered or wet hands, shape into 24 (2-inch) balls. Let it cool completely.
