Hi everyone! Janis here, from Pinecone Camp. I wanted to percentage a simple, yet affective/creepy, means to wind upward a halloween treat...in this illustration a popcorn ball.
I bring to admit, I'm non i for heaps of Halloween decor, thence if I create something it's got to bring a creepy spin. I honour onetime dolls endlessly menacing too they bring a high creep factor. There is zip to a greater extent than chilling than the idea of a doll coming to life too wreaking havoc (well, to me anyway!)
Wrap each popcorn ball inwards parchment paper, thence necktie amongst a slice of dark ribbon. Attach tag to ribbon, too you're done!

I shot a few vintage dolls, thence created tags for the popcorn balls. I dearest the cinema The Shining, thence I took i of my fave lines (spoken past times the scary twins), too added my guest's names.
To brand the maple popcorn balls:
1/3 loving cup popping corn (mine worked out to near seven cups popped)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 loving cup maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pop your corn yet yous like, thence spread it out on a baking canvas to choice out whatever unpopped kernels. You actually don't desire an emergency trip to the dentist ;) Place popcorn inwards an oiled bowl too laid upward aside. Heat syrup too butter inwards a heavy saucepan over medium high heat, stirring constantly until temperature reads 225-250f on a candy thermometer. Add baking soda - mixture amongst foam up. Pour evenly over popped corn, too toss amongst greased wooden spoons. Let sit down until cool plenty to cast into balls. Don't permit it sit down for long though, equally it rapidly hardens! Place them on a wire rack to cool too harden. I made near viii popcorn balls out of my batch.
Wrap each popcorn ball inwards parchment paper, thence necktie amongst a slice of dark ribbon. Attach tag to ribbon, too you're done!
Have a happy, too spooky, Halloween!
