Recent time spent with my grandchildren got me to thinking of my childhood. I remember eating pink caramel popcorn. Remember that? All that sugar just seemed wonderful, and the artificial coloring made it very attractive! Fortunately, now, most people are gearing up towards healthier choices. No more red dye no. 40 which contains petroleum and less refined sugar. I decided to try a popcorn ball recipe sweetened with agave syrup. This is a great recipe to use up your left over popcorn, too! I am sure kids will enjoy this sweet treat!
A popcorn balls recipe using agave syrup which is lower on the glycemic scale. Eat them plain or spice them up with cinnamon or chili powder!

Tips
*To avoid gluten in my popcorn, and many chemicals, I used Orville Redenbacker's Original Popcorn and popped it myself. They have many gluten free microwavable ones, too. There a number of other gluten free brands, as well.
If you wish to make your glaze pink try adding a bit of pure cranberry juice to the agave syrup while cooking.
If you desire additional flavor in the glaze, try adding a dash of cinnamon, or even chili powder.
Make sure you use fresh popcorn. They make more attractive popcorn balls.
Popcorn pops at about 450 degrees. Check the Smoke Point of your favorite oils at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_point .
If you do not allow the syrup to cool it will contributed to the shrinking of the popcorn.
