my grandmother used to make popcorn balls for trick'or' treaters up until I think 1994, maybe she stopped in 1990, she never stopped making them for halloween, but stopped for trick'or'treaters around that time because that was about the time it was seen as not just improper but maybe even dangerous to make homemade treats or accept homemade treats from trick'or'treating

[@kelleywyskiel3478]

Every year I just miss the Halloween magic of neighbors who make treats to hand out to trick or treaters. I understand how dangerous it is now. But it was always so much fun to get the candy apples, popcorn balls, and cookies.

I love that you show when things dont go perfectly! You are a breath of fresh air and so enjoyable to watch!

[@underatinroof]

Thank you so much 🥹

[@sageandrosewood]

My 4 year old absolutely loves your videos! We watch them every morning while I brush her hair. She was enthralled with the candy apples short and asked if we could make them. We eagerly awaited this video and the recipe and are making candy apples today! Thanks for sharing the videos and your process!

[@underatinroof]

Oh my gosh. That just makes me heart so happy! 🥰 I hope you have fun making them!

[@sageandrosewood]

​@@underatinroofThey turned out great!

[@TracyD2]

I love Indian pudding. I never made it in a pumpkin. It is sooooo delicious. I make it all the time. It’s good warm with ice cream like an A La mode. I love Halloween Samhain season. It gives me all the feels I enjoy. Thank you.

[@laceyjs92]

This was really interesting and fun to watch. I also appreciated that you showed when things went wrong and what you might change- so many channels just show perfect finished products and not everything in between!

[@TheMennomilist]

I have made popcorn balls before! I haven't made them in a decade and forget how I did it. I seriously love how you test things out and attempt to make things as an experiment. I loved the history with these so much!!! That pumpkin recipe looks so good! I'm sorry you had so many "okay" or things that didn't come out as you hoped in this experiment. My parents used to have parties at their house around Halloween, yet we didn't celebrate it, which is interesting, but people would dress up, and I remember we had the apple on a string game haha. They stopped doing those parties by the time I was five. Booooo.

[@underatinroof]

Haha! It sounds like the parties were fun while they lasted!! 🎃 Thank you. It’s been really fun to just experiment and not develop recipes to share for a change. I’m having a blast! It’s also been fun to semi share how recipes are made/developed 😊

[@angieortiz2100]

What nice video, I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@underatinroof]

Thank you very much! 🥰❤️

[@ChibiGunBunny]

I love this content. I hope you will do one for Yule!

[@underatinroof]

I would love to!

[@kelleywyskiel3478]

We make candy apples the same way. Twice at a minimum just to get it right. 😂 I also really thought when you said a glass of wine in your ingredients that like me, the wine was to drink while you cook 😂 this is such a fun watch.

[@juliemosz6647]

This was so much fun to watch! Wish we had small pumpkins in 🇿🇦 so I could try the puddings!

[@underatinroof]

They can be baked in a regular baking pan! 🥰

[@angelaroberts2803]

My mother's family were from dartmoor in Devon uk.We all need tea leaves.

[@carolynl5362]

That was fun!!!! Thank you for sharing 🧡🖤🧡🖤

[@carolm3468]

That was fun! I love your commitment to keeping things authentic.

[@underatinroof]

Thank you so much!

[@TalesOfTheForest]

Hello! So nice to watch this! Right on time to get in a cozy weekend mode 🧡 I would love to be able to film my videos in a kitchen that's not our daily kitchen, where a bomb explodes everyday 😂 I love your decoration, and by the way- tomorrow we'll have porridge with the ever best peach and maple syrup compote! Thank you for all your recipes 😊

[@underatinroof]

Oh I can only imagine how stressful that must be. I’m sorry that is happening to you! ❤️ Thank you so much for your kind words and I’m so glad you enjoyed watching 🥰

[@kathleenproctor5207]

Fun video! May I suggest trying to find a recipe for caramel corn? I find it far more satisfying than popcorn balls. It is hard for me to find beef suet nowadays as it is hard to find a real butcher that even knows what I am talking about. A necessary ingredient for the family mincemeat recipe, it has to be the crumbly fat from around the kidneys. I think butter is a better choice for your Indian corn pudding. Maybe next year you can find old recipes for soul cakes!

[@lafarmhouse]

so fabulous

😋

[@dod2304]

Oh my! I love your channel as I was sure I would. I found you through the lovely Diane Schiffer. I love your videography and kitchen and table design. Beautiful. The video of you and your husband in silhouette dancing near the fire was magical. As someone who has cousins who live in Ireland and my best friend was born there, I'd just ask you pronounce "Celtic" not like the Boston Basketball team (who knows what they were thinking??!!😋) but like the Irish pronounce it themselves. With the "C" pronounced like the "c" in the word "cake". I realize that the pronunciation in this country varies, but, in this part of the word, where more people are first second or third generation Irish, the hard C is preferred. ❣👍 You've inspired me to try some new recipes. I'm interested in the Indian pudding. I think you're right, butter would've been better. Apparently it's almost impossible to find real suet (except for birds!) in the States. It's a particular fat from cows or sheep from around their kidneys and isn't "drippings" from cooking! Of course you know this, I just couldn't help researching that as I didn't know what suet actually is. Several sites recommended Crisco as a substitute for similar taste and texture, but of course a lot of us have avoided it as it contains transfers. Oh well, Hey, on another note, I liked your candy apples with bubbles! It made a really interested texture! I appreciate you sharing your trials and errors. Most people don't and it's reassuring that we call find us up against wonky recipes sometimes. Happy Autumn and Samhain to you and your family! 🍁🌻❣🎃

[@underatinroof]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the tips. Happy autumn! 🎃💛

Why don’t you share vintage Christmas era? You ladies are practising witchcraft.

[@deborahleticiaferreira81]

It was going very nice until the witchcraft start.. unfortunately
