I could never get her to tell or show me how she made them. She was born in 1901. They were soft and chewy and slightly tan in color; I ate them in the 50's and 60's.
I think they were sugared but I do not know if this was accidental or on purpose. I do remember they were delicious! I have been on a popcorn ball quest but have never been able to find exactly the right one...help please.
