Jello Popcorn Balls with Mini Marshmallows
Any flavor of Jello will do, but my favorites are Strawberry, Orange and Lime.
If you don't have mini-marshmallows, large ones cut into fourths work pretty
well too.
Author: Maria
Recipe type: Dessert or Snack
Serves: 12
Ingredients
1 small package Strawberry Jello, or flavor of your choice
1/2 cup sugar
6 tbsp butter
1/4 cup Karo Syrup
1 tsp water
2 cups Mini Marshmallows
9 cups popped pop corn
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine popcorn and minimarshmallows and set aside
Prepare a sheet of wax paper to place formed balls on In a small sauce pan,
combine Strawberry Jello, sugar, butter, karo syrup and 1 tsp water. Cook on
medium high heat until mixture comes to a full boil Turn burner to medium low
(make sure mixture keeps boiling at this temp or turn it up a little) and cook
for 1.5-2 minutes. I go the full two minutes. Quickly pour mixture over
popcorn and mini marshmallows and stir with a wooden spoon until popcorn is
evenly coated. with buttered hands, form popcorn into 12 round balls with your
hands. Set formed popcorn balls on to wax paper and allow to cool. I like to
put each ball in a fold over sandwich bag once they are cooled to help them
stay fresh.
Good luck!

I was going to reply, but all the lady needs to do is enter into Bing search
engine (at the library if not available at home) "recipe popcorn balls,
marshmallows 1960s" and dozens of recipes will come up. If she reads those,
she may recognized the ingredients from the lost recipe and narrow down her
search to just one or two. Marie B
