Answer by Happy Cooker
Healthy cooking simply means low carbs and low fat. So, no deep frying, no skin on your chicken, trim fat off chops and steaks, eat veggies, fruit, seeds and nuts. Have greens every day, drink lots of water and follow the national food pyramid. Not a mystery, just watch what you eat.

Puffed Rice Balls

6-ounce box puffed rice cereal
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla

Place puffed rice in a bowl. Combine remaining ingredients in saucepan and cook until mixture reaches soft ball stage (see note). While stirring constantly, pour mixture over puffed rice. Continue to stir until cereal is completely coated. Grease hands with butter and roll mixture into balls when cool enough to handle. Cover with plastic wrap.

Note: Soft ball stage means to heat the syrup to 234-240 degrees. It is at this point that a small amount of syrup, when dropped into very cold water, forms a soft ball that flattens after it’s removed.

Here’s another puffed rice ball recipe sent in by Ann K. Gunnin of Jasper, Ga. “Thanks to the generosity of a gentleman who had a Quaker Puffed Rice box from the 1930s listed on eBay, I now have the recipe for the famous Puffed Rice Balls Marianne Beck is looking for (the one her Mom used to make for Halloween). The recipe was listed on the back of the box and he was kind enough to send it to me, although I lost the bid on the box. And since one good turn deserves another, here it is.”

Quaker Puffed Rice Balls

1/2 cup corn syrup (light Karo syrup will do)
1/2 cup molasses
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons butter
About 6 cups puffed rice cereal

Boil syrup, molasses, sugar and vinegar until it snaps when tested in cold water (see note). Remove from heat, add butter, allow bubbling to die down, then pour over puffed rice. Mix well with a spoon and when slightly cool, form into balls.

Note: This recipe refers to the “hard crack” stage in candy making. Cook the syrup to 300-310 degrees (using a candy-making thermometer). To test, drop a small amount of syrup into very cold water. If the syrup separates into hard, brittle threads, it’s ready to be removed from the heat.

Makes about 10 baseball-sized balls.
