EASY Marshmallow Popcorn Balls: 4 ING! | The Recipe Rebel
These Popcorn Balls are a fun holiday treat that the kids love! Experiment with flavors and colors to create something special for any occasion.
PRINTABLE RECIPE & NUTRITION INFO:
INGREDIENTS:
10 cups air popped popcorn (see note above if you do not have an air popper)
6 cups mini marshmallows (5 cups for less gooey popcorn balls) (250 grams)
1/4 cup salted butter
2 tablespoons corn syrup
INSTRUCTIONS
Place popcorn in a lightly greased, large bowl. Set aside.
Over medium heat, melt marshmallows, butter and corn syrup until smooth.
Pour over popcorn in bowl and stir well.
Lightly grease your hands with non stick spray (or make them slightly damp), then roll handfuls of popcorn into balls (I prefer not to press them to firmly together). Set on a large piece of wax paper for 15-20 minutes to set.
Store in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks, or wrap individually in plastic wrap if giving to friends and family.
