COCONUT POPCORN BALLS

Categories > Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Holiday, Vegetarian Coconut Popcorn Balls are definitely going to be a hit on movie night. Essentially, they're just hunks of popcorn and cashews held together by a scrumptious creamy mix of nut butter and honey and coated with coconut. The main thing to think about with this recipe is how to make the popcorn. Microwave is easiest, yes, but there are some very questionable chemicals lurking in the lining of most of those convenient bags and many also come with artificial flavors and colors. So if you've got the time, we suggest popping your own. If you've got a popcorn machine, that's obviously the best, but you can also do it on a stovetop using a tutorial like this one.

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 heaping cups popped corn
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup finely chopped cashews
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place popcorn in a large bowl. Combine peanut butter (or almond butter) and honey in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. As soon as the mixture starts to lightly bubble continue cooking for approximately another 30 seconds or less. Immediately pour the mixture evenly over the popcorn and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until well and evenly coated. Stir in cashews. Once the popcorn has cooled, run hands under ice cold water for 10 seconds. Press small handfuls of the popcorn mixture firmly into 2-inch balls. Place balls on baking sheet and sprinkle with coconut. Let cool completely before storing. To store, individually wrap each ball in plastic wrap.

Time 37m

Yield 75-100 balls

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (16 ounce) boxes confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 (14 ounce) package shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups chopped almonds

Steps:

  • With an electric mixer cream together sugar & butter in a bowl. Add milk until well blended. Stir in almond extract, coconut & nuts (you may omit the nuts if you do not like them). Roll the candy filling into one inch balls and place on waxed paper. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  • Using a double boiler melt chocolate until smooth (you may also melt chocolate in the microwave according to the directions on the chocolate). I like to add approximately 2 Tbls of butter or shortening in the chocolate but this is not necessary to do so. Dip the balls in chocolate and let stand at room temperature until set.
  • Store in a tightly sealed container and preferable in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the popcorn before coating it with the sugar mixture. This will help to balance out the sweetness.
  • If you don't have any coconut extract on hand, you can substitute vanilla extract.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture. If it gets too dark, it will taste burnt.
  • Work quickly when shaping the popcorn balls. The sugar mixture will start to harden as it cools.
  • If you want to make your popcorn balls extra special, you can decorate them with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.

Conclusion:

Coconut almond popcorn balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover popcorn, and they are also a fun and festive snack.
