Popcorn Balls – They’re Not Just for Halloween

Popcorn Balls – They’re Not Just for Halloween

Be different - do your own thing - decorate your popcorn balls with candy!

Popcorn balls can be a delicious treat any time of year and for any occasion. The Package From Santa team has found a super easy way to make popcorn balls – in fact, it only takes 30 minutes from start to finish.

Ingredients For 1 Dozen Popcorn Balls

  • Popped Popcorn – 10 cups
  • Large Marshmallows – 10 ounces
  • Butter – ¼ cup
  • Salt – ¼ teaspoon
  • Candy Decorations - optional

Add popcorn to large bowl, cake pan or other large container.

Combine marshmallows, salt and butter in a saucepan – use low to medium heat and stir constantly until the mix is melted. Pour over popcorn and mix well.

Allow to cool slightly then with buttered hands, shape into 12 balls. Place on waxed paper and decorate with candy if desired – the melted mixture will act as a sweet-and-tasty glue!
