Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
The elementary school I attended through 3rd grade had a Halloween parade each year. We'd come to school dressed in our costumes. Around lunchtime parents would arrive with treats, we'd eat our lunches and then gorge ourselves on cupcakes, mini-sized candy bars, frosted cookies in the shape of pumpkins and my mom's popcorn balls.
She never really followed a recipe for them, instead would just pop several large batches of corn and pour it into a large paper grocery bag. On the stove, she'd melt a stick of butter together with honey and brown sugar until it was a sticky syrup. She'd put the bag on several layers of newspaper on the kitchen floor and pour the butter/honey/sugar combination over the top. Working quickly, she'd grab a handful of popcorn and quickly mold it into balls, which would get laid out on a greased cookie sheet. When the balls were cool, we'd pack them in plastic sandwich bags and tie off the tops with curled ribbon.
