Recently on a trip to the zoo I was commenting on how easy and delicious this was homemade and WAY cheaper (they charge 7 bucks a bag at the zoo, I think you could make enough to last a couple of months for 7 bucks!!!)! Don't make this if you're only planning on eating a little bit, like say, if you're on a DIET or something!!! IT'S ADDICTING!!!!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, stir in the sugar and popcorn. Cover, and shake the pot constantly to keep the sugar from burning. Once the popping has slowed to once every 2 to 3 seconds, remove the pot from the heat and continue to shake for a few minutes until the popping has stopped. Pour into a large bowl, and allow to cool, stirring occasionally to break up large clumps.

Kathee's Special Balls
This is my most requested Thanksgiving dish I make, and every year I have to look through all my cookbooks for several hours to find it. Not any more, now it will be here, safe and sound!! So here it is, the famous recipe of my amazing balls!!
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
12 large marshmallows
3/4 cup finely crushed cornflakes (I use frosted cuz I'm crazy like that)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. milk
1/4 cup butter
Mold a spoonful of the sweet potatoes around each marshmallow; roll in cornflake crumbs. Place in a shallow baking dish. In a saucepan, bring brown sugar, milk and butter to a boil; pour over the balls. Bake uncovered at 350 for 15 minutes. You may want to double this, or people may be screaming for more balls. I'm just saying....... it's happened before!!!!
