A few years back someone brought popcorn balls to a party. They said they were so easy to make. I am thinking they used Marshmallow cream. Has anyone got an easy recipe for pop corn balls?

Ingredients

  • 1 bag popped microwave popcorn with unpopped kernels removed.
  • 1 bag Kraft caramel squares
  • 2 Tbsp. water

Directions

Take 2 Tbsp. of water put in pan with 22 unwrapped caramel squares and cook over low heat, stirring until smooth (no lumps) Careful, you can scorch the caramel. In large mixing bowl, put popcorn in and pour caramel over it. Gently stir until caramel is coating the popcorn. Then form into small 3 inch diameter balls and set to finish cooling on wax paper. You can usually get about 8 to 10 popcorn balls from this recipe.

A caution with popcorn balls, no matter how you pop the corn, make sure you get all of the unpopped kernels out before you make the popcorn balls. Shaking the corn helps send them to the bottom and scooping out the corn at the top into another bowl will help with this.

I just use the rice Krispies bar recipe but use popcorn instead of cereal also add a small box dry jello for color and flavor. Cherry makes it pretty at Christmas. Popcorn Balls are softer to bite into

This is the easiest popcorn receipe ever!
Pop two bags of microwave popcorn and put into large bowl.
Place one bag of miniature marshmallows with 1/4 cup butter (or margarine) in bowl in microwave and microwave on High for 1 1/2 minutes. Take out, stir well and pour over popcorn and shape into balls. Takes only minutes, sometimes I add some smarties as well
