These delicious popcorn balls combine the delightful crunchiness of popcorn with the rich sweetness of our Maple Sea Salt Homestyle Granola. Created by Tony Shasteen.
Pop popcorn according to package directions and remove all unpopped kernels. Place popped popcorn and granola in a large roasting pan. Place the pan in the oven to keep everything warm while you make the caramel.
Cook maple syrup and corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once the temperature reaches 230-235°F on a candy thermometer, allow the mixture to cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Immediately pour over the popcorn mixture. Stir well to evenly coat. When the mixture is cool enough to handle, dip your hands in water, grab ½ cup of the mixture into your hands and form into a ball, making sure to press firmly so it holds together. Repeat!
