I like the wax paper idea better than putting them in a plastic bags. Makes it look like a big piece of candy.

[@GrandmaFeral]

Hi Zoa i also like how they look wrapped in wax paper. I like my wax paper and I always have it in the house. Thank you for watching and have a nice day❤️Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨‍🍳

This reminds me that popcorn used to be used in many ways at Christmas! My uncles would strung popcorn and cranberries for my grandparent’s Christmas tree, and popcorn balls were always made for a fun treat! Sometimes we would use popcorn to make “art”, pasting popcorn onto colored paper to make Santa’s beard! Sometimes the popcorn balls were dyed with red and green food coloring and shaped like bells. I think that nearly all children like popcorn, both to eat, and to play with! It’s a great inexpensive treat. We still like to make a bowl of buttered popcorn to eat while we watch movies at home. I wonder if other cultures like popcorn, too?!

[@GrandmaFeral]

Hi Polly Alice thank you for sharing all the ways popcorn was used. Some I have forgot about until you mentioned it. Grandpa and I also like popcorn when watching a movie. I am careful now eating popcorn since I chipped my front tooth. Thank goodness it was a small chip and fixed quickly by my dentist. I hope you are having a good day❤️Grandma👩🏻

Hey guys! Wow does this bring back memories. I remember these.. mostly getting them on Halloween (trick or treat). But once in a while I would see them at my grandparents house in green and red wax paper. Also to this day it’s not Christmas unless I have the following: Chocolate Coins, Ribbon Candy, Clear Toys suckers, fresh fish, cookies, nuts to crack, Nat King Cole and a trimmed tree. 😊 I love the popcorn balls and wish more people would get back to the old traditions… Grandma, go back to your video that Grandpa made the macaroon cookies and see I replied to you as I found the school recipe to the cookies I told you about, I put the recipe in my comment as promised for you and your audience…. Thanks for cooking Grandpa! You both have been working over time! Blessings ….. Brian

[@GrandmaFeral]

Hi Brian thank you for sharing what Christmas means to you. Also thank you for the recipe for the cookies. Interesting we will have to try making them. Yes we have been working overtime but we enjoy making the videos for all our family on KZbin. Thank you for your Blessings❤️Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨‍🍳

I love popcorn balls.🥰 These looked so delicious and pretty easy to make. The wax paper and ribbon looked so pretty, like a huge candy.💞🍬

I remember the couple who owned the A&P in town always gave out popcorn balls for Halloween every year they took the day off and had tons of popcorn balls we started at their house every year thanks for the recipe it sounds easy

[@GrandmaFeral]

Yes it does! Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻

[@pek5117]

I've made these but used Caramel instead of the sugar syrup, Using caramel is harder as its a lot hotter and sets as it cools. We don't have Cracker Jack in Australia but we used to make our own similar to the balls but added nuts let set flat in a tray lined with baking paper and broke it up when it set. Loved the lil present idea. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa.

[@GrandmaFeral]

Hi thanks for sharing how you used Caramel. Here Cracker Jack has been around for years. Now they don’t give a nice surprise like years ago. It’s only something with paper now. Have a good day❤️Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨‍🍳

Never made popcorn balls, but it looks so easy! I only used to string the popcorn to make tree garland with my kids. I would put the popcorn on the needle and one kid would hold the 10ft of string at the other end of the room, and the other kid would walk(or run!) the popcorn kernels down to the end! Then switch after a while! I do remember having Cut-rite waxed paper sandwich bags to take my sandwiches to school in the 50's. Thanks for this memory! God Bless! ( I still use waxed paper to this day)

[@GrandmaFeral]

Thank you for sharing how you would string the popcorn with your children. They must of had so much fun. I am never without waxed paper. I always have an extra one in the pantry. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻

We used to make popcorn balls for Halloween. I don't remember much about it because I was probably 5. Just remember the warm popcorn sticking to my hands.I don't think I've had once since but I do love popcorn, extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, and parmesan cheese . Thanks!❤️💚❤️💚

This was so much fun to watch! You two are sweethearts. I had a German neighbor who would make these for Halloween and I love them for some reason. My mom never tried making these as an adult now I would love to try making them myself. I was trying to find a recipe without corn syrup and I found this video through Google. Thank you so much. Please turn out well. I’ll be bringing back a tradition. This to my sisters attempt at rice crispy treats shaped like Holly leaves we do that every year now.

This looks so good! We used to get popcorn balls at Christmas. Can I ask, why the vinegar?

[@GrandmaFeral]

Vinegar is a natural preservative so it can help prolong the shelf life of the popcorn balls. Also vinegar has a strong flavor and it will offset the sweetness of the binding agent. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
