Very easy to make and oh so good! I used long kitchen gloves (and two separate bowls of popcorn so that it would'nt get too full and overflow) and made the balls easily by having the cold tap run and running the gloves under cold water when the balls wern't sticking together well. This also works for pressing down your rice krispy treats into the pan. Not only did the cold water cool the mixture down, but it helped solidify the balls as I formed them - BONUS - no added fat to the balls! The clean up is not too bad - just a lot of hot water and soaking. Be careful about popcorn seeds getting into your disposal. GREAT recipe and sooo yummy!

I made these today for a party with six Kindergarten girls. They chose the color (pink) and made all sorts of shapes. I found they the popcorn did not harden too quickly, which was perfect for this age. We stuck large, straight pretzels in the balls and used candy corn for garnish. Popcorn Lollipops! Good flavor and super-easy. I will definitely make these again.

I was impressed with this, the coating was simple to make and a little sticky to work with, I had to put a lot of butter on my hands and press firmly to keep them together, but once they did they stayed that way! It was a good flavor, about what you'd think of with a popcorn ball, only not hard when you bite into it, there were little strings of the coating from the ball to what you bit off. It's also very addictive... when someone went by them they took one. Great recipe, thanks!

All four of my kids loved these! What better review could I give? Even I really liked these, and I'm not a popcorn ball fan. The kids are already talking about the next time we make them and the first batch isn't even gone yet!
