Popcorn balls were among the most popular confections in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although references appeared as early as the 1840s, the first recipe seems not to have been published until 1861 by the New York cookbook author E. F. Haskell in her Housekeeper's Encyclopedia. Her recipe was simple: "Boil honey, maple, or other sugar to the great thread; pop corn and stick the corn together in

balls with the candy." In the home, making popcorn balls was usually the province of girls and women.
