Does anyone have a recipe for non-sticky pink popcorn balls? I've been searching for one to make some like I had as a child. My uncle always brought them to me when he went hunting with my father. Sticky is a function of humidity with these guys. If you grease your hands while you're forming them, and the air is dry (as it usually is at the time of year you're making them) they'll set up without being gooey. Sugar takes water out of the air, and that's how the popcorn balls get sticky. Susan Hi Trudy, If they were pink, I think they might have been hard candy style popcorn balls, instead of caramel based. www.lorannoils.com has a very nice hard candy popcorn ball recipe on their site that might do the trick. ~ MaryJane Trudy, I know what you mean - they were almost "dusty" in appearance, like cheese popcorn, right? Nice and dry and opaque, rather than shiny. And light pink. I remember those, for sure - hope MJ's recipe suggestion works for you. PJH
