Popcorn Balls
Makes about 20 popcorn balls, which should be eaten whole and leave your face feeling sticky. 6 tbsps (3/4 stick) butter 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1/4 cup light corn syrup 2 tbsps maple syrup (Grade B has a robust, more maple-y flavor) 3/4-tsp baking soda 10 cups popped corn (1 plain microwave bag or 1/4 cup kernels) 1 1/2 cups raw walnuts An oiled bowl and two oiled, heatproof spatulas or spoons
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add sugars, honey, and corn syrup and cook to 300°F over mediumhigh heat, stirring occasiona#y. The mixture wi# look thick and bubbly. Add the baking soda and stir we# to incorporate; the mixture wi# increase in volume. Spread the popped corn out on a large sheet tray and discard any unpopped kernels. Transfer the popcorn to the oiled bowl. Pour the caramel evenly over the popcorn, then sprinkle the nuts; use 2 heatproof spatulas and toss together until corn is evenly coated. When the caramel has cooled and is cool enough to handle but not brittle, a$er 2-3 minutes, toss and shape into 2” ba#s with lightly oiled hands. Set on a rack to cool.
Popcorn balls are best within a few days of making and keep for up to a week. Measuring Cups Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient (peanut butter, honey, etc.) and watch how easily it comes right out.

Materials to Make Colorful Pumpkins
Mod Podge brush • Miniature white pumpkins • Colorful tissue paper. Instructions: Using a paintbrush, apply a thin coat of Mod Podge over a section of the pumpkin. Immediately cover it with a small piece of tissue paper. Continue in small sections until the entire pumpkin is covered. For very thin, translucent paper, you might need to do more than one coat of paper—in that case, wait until the first coat is dry before applying the second. *Note—For the polka-dot and striped pumpkins, just use an acrylic paint pen! Super simple!

Onions
Common onions are normally available in three colors: yellow, red, and white. Yellow onions are full-flavored and are a reliable standby for cooking almost anything. Yellow onions turn a rich, dark brown when cooked and give French onion soup its tangy sweet flavor. The red onion is a good choice for fresh uses or in grilling and char-broiling. White onions are the traditional onion used in classic Mexican cuisine. They have a golden color and sweet flavor when sautéed. While the large mature onion bulb is the onion most often eaten, onions can be eaten at immature stages. Young plants may be harvested before bulbing occurs and used whole as scallions. [8] When an onion is harvested after bulbing has begun but the onion is not yet mature, the plants are sometimes referred to as summer onions. [9] Additionally, onions may be bred and grown to mature at smaller sizes. Depending on the mature size and the purpose for which the onion is used, these may be referred to as pearl, boiler, or pickler onions. [9] (However, true pearl onions are a different species.) Pearl and boiler onions may be cooked as a vegetable rather than an ingredient. Pickler onions are, unsurprisingly, often pickled. Onion seed may be "sprouted", and the resulting sprouts used in salads, sandwiches, and other dishes.
