Orange Marmalade Popcorn Balls Recipe
When I was a kid my mom used to put homemade popcorn balls in our Easter Baskets and Christmas Stockings every year. Sometimes they would be your classic popcorn balls and at other times she would surprise us with candies mixed-in or sprinkles on top. Popcorn balls are still a classic and are still popular today.
