How to Make Homemade Popcorn Balls
Make some delicious popcorn balls for the holidays this year with your kids! They are so fun to make and I recommend a second pair of hands to roll them quickly.
What ingredients do I need to make popcorn balls?
- Mini Marshmallows
- Butter
- Green and red m&ms candies
- Unpopped popcorn kernels Or 8 cups plain popped popcorn
- Christmas sprinkles
- Cooking Spray for hands
I grabbed these cute white and red striped cupcake liners and put the balls in each. You can wrap them in little baggies or serve like that! They kind of look like movie theater popcorns to me LOL!
Christmas Popcorn Balls
Servings 16
Ingredients
- 1 bag Mini Marshmallows 10oz
- ½ cup Butter 1 stick
- 1 cup Green and red m&ms candies
- ½ cup Unpopped popcorn kernels Or 8 cups plain popped popcorn
- Christmas sprinkles
- Cooking Spray for hands
Instructions
- Pop your popcorn kernels. Pick out and remove all the seeds!
- I used two bowls and split the popcorn (because there's SO much) in each.
- In a pot on the stove, melt your butter over medium-low heat. Add in the marshamallows and stir until melted and smooth.
- Pour half the mixture over the first bowl of popcorn, then the other half in the next bowl.
- Quickly stir each to combine. Let it cool for a minute then add in the m&ms and sprinkles with a spatula.
- Set out a big piece of parchment paper.
- Coat your hands in cooking spray then make balls in your hands with the popcorn mixture.
- Place on the parchment paper and let cool until set.
