CANE SYRUP POPCORN BALLS
Cane syrup, a caramelized, concentrated version of pure cane juice, is one of the basic flavors of southern Louisiana, where about half the sugar cane in the United States is grown. Here, use it to give popcorn balls a deep, buttery caramel taste, perfect for a Halloween treat. Make sure to butter your hands well before shaping the mixture into balls. And if you live outside a region where you can get cane syrup, try Lyle's Golden Syrup, a British sweetener often found in supermarket baking aisles.

Steps:
- In a saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, melt sugar, syrup, 2/3 cup water, vinegar and salt over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches 260 degrees, 5 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully so mixture does not boil over.
- In a very large bowl, combine popcorn and peanuts, if using. Cover a work surface with waxed or parchment paper. When syrup mixture is ready, turn off heat and stir in butter and baking soda; it will foam up.
- Pour about 2/3 of syrup over popcorn and set remainder over very low heat. Mix popcorn well with wooden spoon. Working quickly, butter hands and form mixture into balls, setting them on prepared surface to cool; this is best done by more than one person, so syrup does not have time to harden. If mixture seems dry or isn't holding together, stir in remaining syrup.
- Cool and serve, or wrap individually in waxed paper and store in an airtight container.

CANDY BAR POPCORN BALLS
When watching a movie, you've got to have popcorn....and something sweet! So, I've combined both movie theater treats with these caramel-flavored popcorn balls that get a dunk in chocolate and then are rolled in crushed cookies, peanuts, candy bars or toffee. It's the best of both worlds!
