I say Popcorn Balls you say…
HARD!
You, my dear lovelies are wrong.
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Okay, maybe I’m being a bit childish. But I’m right and you are wrong. Bam!
Yes, aLOT childish.
That’s it. That is all the ingredients you need for these cheater popcorn balls.
- Prepared Popcorn
I’m using Fudgy Peanut Butter Popcorn and Cinnamon Roll Carmel Corn both from Tastefully Simple - 1 bag of large marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons butter
You simply act as if you are making a batch of marshmallow treats. Melt the marshmallows and butter together in the microwave (I start with 60seconds and stir, then 20 second intervals after).
Stir about 32 oz of prepared popcorn into the marshmallow mixture. Stir well!
Tip: It helps to use a rubber spatula that is slightly damp or sprayed with cooking spray to help it not stick to the popcorn.
Use your hands (again with the tip…damp hands!) and squish that gooey popcorn into balls. Squish them pretty hard, even to the point of hearing some crunching, to ensure they will hold together well.
Wrap them up with some plastic wrap and set them aside for Christmas munching. Or gifting. Be sure to experiment with different kinds of popcorn and additions. Try adding peppermint bits, sprinkles, dried cranberries, and even bits of candy!
