CHRISTMAS POPCORN BALLS

I have had a couple of requests for my cinnamon rolls........Misty, my daughter made me swear to never give it out...........so..........I'll go with popcorn balls today.  This recipe came from LaRae Smith.....almost 50 years ago.  I make them for every holiday with the appropriate coloring. On Halloween in Cabo San Lucas I had kids coming from everywhere to get the popcorn balls!  You will never eat one better........they are soft.

First make two batches of popcorn (I make two bags of regular microwave popcorn)  Put in a huge bowl.  On the stove in a good pan with a lid:
1/2 cup butter (once again it must be real butter)
1/2 cup light Karo
1 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
Cook and stir over med heat til comes to a rolling boil.  Shut off the heat and cover the pan. Let sit for 4 minutes..........then add your food coloring......probably will be red or green.  Pour over the popped corn and stir.  When has cooled some.......put butter on your hands and roll a glob into a ball.  After you have done all of the corn.......then wrap them each in saran wrap.  You could form the mixture into a Christmas tree and decorate, etc. 
Your entire family will love these!
