Makes 12 popcorn balls
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup EDEN Popcorn
- 3 Tbsp EDEN Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp EDEN Sea Salt
- 8 ounces EDEN Tamari Roasted Almonds
- 1/2 cup EDEN Barley Malt Syrup
- 1/2 cup organic pure maple syrup
Directions:
- Pop corn according to package directions and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the almonds.
- Place the syrups in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the flame to medium-low and simmer, stirring constantly for about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Pour the hot syrup over the popcorn and almonds. Mix thoroughly until all the popcorn and almonds are covered with syrup.
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Place the popcorn on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. With a spatula, loosen the popcorn from the baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Place 1 cup cold water in a bowl. Lightly moisten your hands with water. Working quickly, take a handful of popcorn and form it into a fist size ball, packing like you would a snowball.
- Repeat, lightly moistening your hands as needed, until all the popcorn is formed into balls.
- Refrigerate to harden the syrup for 30 minutes before serving.
