Kristina Vassileva sent us this Fun birthday recipe for Mia Balls. 

You will need:

20 small apples,

wooden skewers,

1 kg sugar,

300 ml water,

1 tbsp vinegar,

red food coloring,

a 200-300 gr package of popcorn (not the buttery kimd)

Wash and dry the apples, removing the stalks. Insert the skewers. Pop the corn (it’s fastest to do that on a gas stove). Put them on a baking sheet. Boil the water, the sugar and the vinegar until the mixture thickens. To check for readiness, dip a spoon in the hot mixture then quickly dip it in cold water – if the sugar is crunchy, then it’s ready. Add the food coloring. Dip each apple well into the sugar mixture and then roll in the popcorn. Children go crazy about them!
