Remember popcorn balls at Halloween. I’m an 80’s kid and there was always at least one popcorn ball given out to trick-or-treaters. Nowadays you can’t get away with giving out homemade treats to the trick or treaters. But these are still great for parties or family gatherings. Oh, or great for a Halloween movie night!
