Popcorn Balls

01Method

1. 1

   Combine the golden syrup, butter, powdered sugar, rum, and marshmallows in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue heating for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to a syrup-like consistency. Remove from heat and fold in the raisins and salt.

2. 2

   Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the popcorn into the mixture until all pieces are evenly coated.

3. 3

   Grease your hands lightly with butter and shape the mixture into golf-ball-sized spheres.

4. 4

   Insert a stick or string through each ball to allow it to be suspended.

5. 5

   Roll each ball in the powdered sugar coating until fully covered, then set aside to cool and firm up.
