Simple Chewy Popcorn Balls step by step

7. Continue mixing for a couple minutes, until it begins to get slightly hard and is cool enough to mold into balls. Be careful not to let it cool too much or it will be too hard to form into balls..
8. Take a handful of the kettlecorn and form it into a firm, compressed ball. Repeat this until you run out of kettlecorn..
9. Let the popcorn balls cool on a plate spaced far enough apart that they don't touch one another. Until they become less sticky, pick them up off the plate frequently so that they don't stick..
