Peppermint Popcorn Balls image

Peppermint popcorn balls are a base recipe of marshmallow popcorn balls with the added flavor of peppermint extract and candy canes. The popcorn balls retain somewhat of a soft texture and have a sweet, peppermint taste. You can also pop the popcorn on the stovetop if you prefer.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my popcorn balls turned out really dry. I think I might have used too little butter.

These popcorn balls were a little too dense for my taste. I think I might have cooked the popcorn for too long.

I had a hard time getting the popcorn balls to stick together. I think I might have used too much butter.

I'm not a huge fan of peppermint, but these popcorn balls were still really good. The chocolate coating really helped to balance out the flavor.
