Sweet and Salty Popcorn Balls

Ingredients:

4 tbsp. butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
7 oz. sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
10 cups popped popcorn
1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped
1/2 cup toffee bits
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
coarse sea salt, optional

Directions:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, combine your butter, sugar, and corn syrup. After butter is melted, bring to a boil, and then add condensed milk. Continue to boil for 5 minutes, continuously stirring to prevent scorching. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.
Place popcorn in a large bowl. Pour butter mixture over popcorn, stirring until coated completely. Set aside until mixture has cooled enough where you can handle it. Toss in peanuts, toffee, and chocolate chips.
Spray your hands with a non-stick spray and roll popcorn into 2-inch balls. (Which is about 1/4 cup per ball.) Place balls on baking sheet, and sprinkle with salt. Let cool completely.
Enjoy!

Makes about 30 balls.
