MARSHMALLOW POPCORN BALLS RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Marshmallow Popcorn Balls Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 tablespoons (1/4-cup) unsalted butter
10 ounces marshmallows (you can use regular sized or mini marshmallows)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 cups popcorn

Steps:

  • Prepare the popcorn (I use 1/2 cup popcorn kernels with 2 tablespoons coconut oil). Place the popcorn into a large bowl, and remove any un-popped kernels. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the marshmallows, vanilla and salt. Heat, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Shortcut: I melted all of the ingredients in a microwave (3 to 4 minutes) stirring a couple of times in between. I like to use disposable gloves, sprayed with non-stick spray to easily form the popcorn balls. Allow to set for at least an hour, so the popcorn balls stay stuck together. That's hard to do, as my family gets into them as fast as I can make them!

Categories     Candy

Time 20m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (3 ounce) bag microwave popcorn (popped, this is about 5 cups)
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
candy sprinkles (color of your choice)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
  • On a large cookie sheet, spray cooking spray to cover. Next, microwave the popcorn according to the directions on the bag.
  • Empty the marshmallow creme from the jar into a bowl that you can use in the microwave.
  • Microwave the marshmallow creme on high for 1 minute - make sure you microwave it uncovered. Pause the microwave, stir the creme and continue microwaving for another 30 seconds or until it is melted.
  • Take your popped corn and gently pour into the marshmallow creme. Be careful not to let any unpopped kernels fall into the bowl. Gently stir the popcorn until mixed and coated.
  • Spread the popcorn out on a cookie sheet. Once you have a fairly even layer, sprinkle the popcorn with the candies. Bake for about 10 minutes, stirring just a little after 5 minutes.
  • Cool completely on cookie sheet placed on top of a wire rack. At this point it will all be one mass of coated popcorn. Once it is cooled, you can break it up into large pieces and serve. Delicious!
  • For a variation, finely crush candy canes and use in place of the sprinkles.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Marshmallows: For the best results, use fresh, soft marshmallows. Avoid using old or stale marshmallows, as they will not melt properly and will result in a chewy popcorn.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When making marshmallow popcorn, it is important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the marshmallows from melting evenly and will result in a sticky mess.
  • Be Patient: Melting marshmallows takes time. Do not rush the process or you will end up with burnt marshmallows and unpopped popcorn.
  • Use a Large Pot: When making marshmallow popcorn, it is important to use a large pot. This will give the popcorn plenty of room to pop and will prevent it from burning.
  • Stir Constantly: Once the marshmallows start to melt, stir them constantly. This will help to prevent them from burning and will ensure that they coat the popcorn evenly.
  • Add Toppings: Once the marshmallow popcorn is made, you can add a variety of toppings to it. Some popular toppings include chocolate chips, nuts, sprinkles, and candy.

Conclusion:

Marshmallow popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your marshmallow popcorn turns out perfectly every time. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give marshmallow popcorn a try.
