Divide popcorn into 2 large baking pans and pour half the sugar mixture over each, stirring the popcorn as you pour.

Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool and store in an airtight container, or individual popcorn balls wrapped in plastic wrap.

I love this. I only make it once in a while since you can't quilt eating it. I give it to a friend every year for Christmas. I always have to make her a batch to take to work. They call it popcorn crack since it is so addicting you just can't quit

It is very addictive :-D

I remember my Mom making this at each Christmas, but she always made the 'sauce' on the stove until it formed a 'soft ball' and she didn't bake it. I will have to try this way, 'cause I sure don't make it her way :)
