Foff's Popcorn Balls
Foff made these every Halloween and gave them out to kids in the family on Halloween night. They were delicious! She did this as long as she was able, even after your mom and aunts and I were grown. You probably had one yourself when you were small. These popcorn balls are probably my favorite Halloween memory from when I was a kid!
