I have a couple of sugar disasters myself, like the time I put a spoon of cooked sugar in my mouth (left over from making lollipops) and glued my jaw shut and we were headed out to a dinner party! A lot of very hot coffee solved the problem. And I once discarded a pan that I thought was too daunting to clean after yet another disaster. Though I've read that one needs to reheat the mixture to convert it back to liquid to make clean-up easier.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692999404326628908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279311869237231755.post-39481153710428145912012-04-01T21:20:51.750-04:002012-04-01T21:20:51.750-04:00They were!

(My mom made them when I was young as in old-time for Halloween hand-outs) When I discovered making microwave caramel corn at a tupperware party. . . (now how many years ago could that have been!!??). . . I knew that was my substitute for popcorn balls with NO guilt!!<br />Love the photos, though. Makes me hungry. I think I will just go and make some old-time popcorn sans balls?!?kevel88https://www.blogger.com/profile/14523415032685646085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279311869237231755.post-81085521951345276982012-03-30T16:31:00.796-04:002012-03-30T16:31:00.796-04:00The first (and last) time I tried making popcorn b...The first (and last) time I tried making popcorn balls it was not pretty. I didn't have a thermometer then and cooked the sugar WAY too long. The few I did get formed into balls could likely have been considered lethal weapons and the clean up was awful. Soaking a large pot with brittle-ized popcorn stuck all over the inside still haunts me - what a mess!Tugs Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358805885062849196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279311869237231755.post-79661505223583149622012-03-30T11:04:27.242-04:002012-03-30T11:04:27.242-04:00YUMYUMCappuccinoandartjournal.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241197153708410602noreply@blogger.com
