Popcorn Balls

Ingredients

        10 cups Popcorn 

        1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons butter

     1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons Agave Nectar

      1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon salt

      1 teaspoon vanilla extract

       Hershey's Special Dark Miniatures

       Crushed Pretzels

        

         Instructions

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add in Agave nectar and salt. Boil approximately 1 minute. Stir in Vanilla. Pour mixture over popcorn and coat evenly. Bake popcorn mixture in a roasting pan at 325 degrees for 25 minutes, stirring regularly. Remove from pan and allow to cool just enough to work with the popcorn. With greased or buttered hands, form into balls.

Place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and allow to cool completely. Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler. Dip each popcorn ball in the chocolate, then in the crushed pretzels.
