Popcorn Candy balls
Popcorn and candy corn…
Rolled into one….
Sticky, gooey, crunchy, salty, delicious ball of goodness.
Mix ‘em up, stir ‘em up, roll them out…
Then gobble them up!
Perfect for Halloween goblins and ghouls…
Don’t you want a popcorn ball or two?
Popcorn Candy Balls
1 bag popped popcorn
1 to 1 and 1/2 cup candy corn
1 10 oz.bag mini marshmallows
1/4 stick of butter (or 1/2 if you like it really buttery)
Non-stick spray
Coat inside of pot and spatula with non-stick spray while butter is melting on stove. Melt marshmallows and stir until mixed with butter. Add popcorn (careful not to add kernels!) and candy corn. Take pot off stove and stir until mixed. Spread on pan lined with greased parchment paper. Let it cool 1-2 minutes then roll into balls on parchment paper. Let cool 15-20 minutes, then roll in saran wrap.
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! We have another Friday five and Blue Eyes to conclude Halloween week in the Pond!

Looks fantastic–I think our little crew would enjoy these.

Ooh, I’m sure these would pull all my fillings out, but it would be a yummy way to do it

Between popcorn balls and Rice Krispies treats, marshmallows are love!

One of my favorite things. My M.I.L. makes them for us this time every year…….I don’t complain.
October 27th, 2011 at 6:19 am
Okay, I need a couple of those.

I love popcorn balls! Just yesterday, I asked my aunt for the recipe she and I made when I was a kid. Thank you for posting this. It’s funny I remember it like it was yesterday and she didn’t recall we had ever made them together at all. Just goes to show how a small geture can mean so much to someone else.
Thanks again for posting this.

Yumyumyum!!

Love that idea. I always do caramel corn, but the mallows is more my flavor, and candy corn delish.

I loved popcorn balls as a kid. Adding candy corn only makes them better.

Holy. Yumminess.
I simply HAVE to make these. Soon.

Popcorn balls are one of those great snacks you eat all of the time as a kid (parties, Halloween, Girl Scouts) but never get a chance to eat enough of as an adult!
October 27th, 2011 at 11:58 am
Kids always love these! I like the addition of the candy corn, Duckie. You sure know how to celebrate Halloween!
October 27th, 2011 at 1:05 pm
I’m totally making those this weekend!
October 27th, 2011 at 4:25 pm
Two for me please! Love the sweet and salty.
October 27th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
My mom made popcorn balls to give away every Christmas. It’s been a long time since I’ve had one.
October 27th, 2011 at 6:37 pm
Looks yummy!
October 27th, 2011 at 7:44 pm
I love popcorn so this would work for me.
October 27th, 2011 at 8:51 pm
Popcorn is one of my favorites. Looks like fun to make and tasty too!
October 28th, 2011 at 1:53 am
This will be great for the kids. Two things that they love in once recipe.
October 28th, 2011 at 4:48 am
What bliss – popcorn and marshmallows and candy corn! Sadly, I can’t get candy corn over here but it will probably taste good with just marshmallows too…
October 28th, 2011 at 6:56 am
What yummy fun

I do want a popcorn candy ball – they look scrummy!

These look so delicious and fun! I’m a big fan of marshmallows, so any recipe that incorporates them is a winner in my book!
October 31st, 2011 at 12:14 pm
Mmmm. Those look good right now. I think yours must taste great. Not all popcorn calls are created equal, but I’d try yours any day. I’m telling you, you need to do a recipe book!

In college one of my friends and I made popcorn balls for halloween… ours got a little too hard though. Yours look absolutely wonderful!
