Pop-Corn Candy No. 2

The gum arabic and sugar solution can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead and kept at room temperature. Reheat gently to dissolving temperature before use. However, the popcorn should be freshly popped and the assembly completed in one session for best results.

Store popcorn balls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The coating will harden considerably and may become brittle. Do not refrigerate, as moisture will make the coating sticky and cause the popcorn to become stale.
