Ornament Popcorn Balls | RECIPE

December 24, 2014 By: Nichellecomment

We love Popcorn! I once was a member of a popcorn club where each month we met and made various popcorn inspired recipes. I have a special place for popcorn in my heart <3

Michelle from Michelle’s Party Plan It is featuring these little festive gems today! Ornament Popcorn Balls are super fun and easy to make with the kiddos! She used the same instructions from her previous Sulley Inspired Popcorn balls, but made some alternations to make them more festive for the holiday season.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unpopped popcorn
10 oz. package marshmallows
1 tbs butter
non-stick cooking spray
wax paper
glass bowl
large mixing bowl
silicone spatula/spoon
green and red chocolate candies
red sugar
miniature candy canes
Directions:

Step 1: Pop your popcorn. (I use an air popper.) Place in large bowl.

Step 2: Melt the marshmallows in a glass bowl with the butter in the center by microwaving for about 1 minute and 15 seconds.
Step 3: Once melted, stir the marshmallows and pour them over the popcorn. Then mix in marshmallows by hand.  TIP: Spray your hands with the non-stick cooking spray before mixing, this will keep the marshmallows from sticking to your fingers too much. Use caution, the marshmallow will be very hot!  (I always do this part when making them with the boys, so that they don’t get burned.)
Step 4: Compress the popcorn marshmallow mix into a ball, should make about 6. Place them on the wax paper.
Step 5: While the popcorn balls are still warm, push in the the chocolate candies then sprinkle the red sugar on top, then compress again to make sure the candy sticks to the marshmallow.

Step 6: Stick a miniature candy cane in the top of the ball.

Voila! Ornament Popcorn Balls!

Suggested FUN Variations:
– Skittles work great for more colorful ornaments
– Rice cereal can be substituted for popcorn
– Add cupcake sprinkles
– Add red or green food coloring to the melted marshmallow
– Make balls in various sizes to create popcorn ball snowmen
– Drizzle melted colored candy melts on top
The possibilities are endless!

Thanks for visiting and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
