This recipe guides you through creating festive Halloween Popcorn Balls using two full-size bags of popcorn, eight cups of miniature marshmallows, half a cup of unsalted butter, and a quarter cup of Halloween sprinkles. The process involves melting butter and marshmallows, coating the popcorn, shaping it into softball-sized balls, and optionally adding paper straws and extra sprinkles for a spooky finish.
Ingredients
Directions
- Prepare the popcorn according to package directions, then remove any unpopped kernels and set the fluffy popcorn aside.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for later use.
- Place a large pot over medium heat and add the butter, letting it melt completely.
- Pour the miniature marshmallows into the melted butter and stir constantly until the mixture becomes smooth and fully combined.
- Transfer the popped popcorn into the pot with the marshmallow mixture.
- Stir vigorously until every piece of popcorn is thoroughly coated in the sweet mixture, which may require some effort.
- Fold in the Halloween sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the popcorn.
- Lightly coat your hands with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Scoop up a portion of the mixture and shape it into a ball roughly the size of a softball.
- Set the formed ball onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Continue shaping and placing the remaining mixture until all of it has been used.
- Optionally insert paper straws into the finished balls and add a few extra sprinkles on top for decoration.
