No they are not diet. This is Christmas and part of Christmas is Christmas treats. One wont kill you or derail your diet. Everything in moderation.

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn sryup
1/8 cup water
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 stick of butter
food coloring
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract


This will coat 3 quarts of popped corn.

Pop the corn

Pour hot (really hot) mixture over popcorn and stir to coat. With buttered hands form into balls. Place hands in ice water between forming so you can take the heat.

Wrap in plastic wrap and tie with ribbon and hide from the hungry folks until Christmas. You can leave a few unwrapped for those that just have to sample right now.
