popcorn balls
Caramel kernel clusters
Popcorn balls are a confection made by binding popped corn together with a sweet, sticky syrup—typically molasses, caramel, or marshmallow—then shaping the mixture into spheres while still warm.
They're associated with Halloween treats and holiday candy-making: We made popcorn balls for the school carnival.
