  cliental during the holidays.The reciepe I' m looking for is 
  also good without the alcohol in it for my non drinkers.

Chocolate Popcorn Balls

  Subject: popcorn balls

  Dear Phaedrus,   
   
  I hope you can help me find the best popcorn ball recipe ever.  
  My mom made these popcorn balls every Christmas from about 1950 
  to 1970.  She had the recipe written down, but I think it was on 
  the label of a Karo's corn syrup bottle.  They were chocolate 
  popcorn balls with the creamiest, smoothest chocolate, (not sugary 
  or grainy).  I don't remember if she used Hersey's chocolate powder 
  or the block chocolate, or Nestle's semi sweet chocolate chips, but 
  I believe it was one of the three.  Nor do I remember if the Karo's 
  was light or dark.  Is it possible to look back in Karo's archives 
  or Hersey's and Nestle's archives?  Cause maybe the recipe came from 
  the chocolate package.  I know I don't remember much, but I hope you 
  can find it for me.  Thanks for your help.
