Take a trip down memory lane, back to a time when holiday treats were simple and homemade baked goods from friends and neighbors were the norm. This crunchy popcorn ball is a blast from the past with a modern gourmet twist. The addition of spicy crystallized ginger and tart, colorful goji berries makes them almost as pretty to display as they are a joy to eat!
