Personal Notes:
Grandma Dot always make 2 batches of popcorn balls for Halloween. Her "regular" trick of treaters expect her to have the popcorn balls ready every year. Some of the mothers are Grandmothers now and bring their grandchildren for their popcorn balls. It has been a fun tradition for her Albion neighbors. The recipe came from an old friend, Bernice Chandler, from Connor Creek.
