Ingredients You'll Need:
Popcorn:
The star ingredient of this recipe is, of course, popcorn! You can use either freshly popped popcorn or microwave popcorn, depending on your preference. If using microwave popcorn, make sure to choose a plain or lightly salted variety to balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients.
Marshmallows:
To hold the popcorn together and give it that classic gooey texture, you'll need marshmallows. Mini marshmallows work best as they melt quickly and evenly.
Butter:
Butter adds richness and flavor to the popcorn balls. Make sure to use unsalted butter to avoid an overpowering salty taste.
Corn syrup:
Corn syrup is the secret ingredient that gives the popcorn balls their signature shine and keeps them from becoming too sticky. You can also use honey as a substitute.
Salt:
A pinch of salt helps balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients and adds a subtle depth of flavor.
Instructions:
1. Start by popping your popcorn according to the package instructions. If using freshly popped popcorn, make sure to remove any un-popped kernels.
2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
3. Once the butter is melted, add in the marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and well combined with the butter.
4. Add in the corn syrup and salt and mix well.
5. In a large mixing bowl, pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and stir until all the popcorn is evenly coated.
6. Grease your hands with some butter and begin shaping the mixture into balls, making sure to press firmly to ensure the balls hold their shape.
7. Place the popcorn balls on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and allow them to cool and set for at least 30 minutes.
Customization Ideas:
- For a festive touch, add some red and green food coloring to the melted marshmallow mixture before combining it with the popcorn.
- Get creative with toppings such as crushed candy canes, sprinkles, or chocolate chips.
- For a boozy twist, add some rum or bourbon to the melted marshmallow mixture before combining it with the popcorn.
Now that you have your very own homemade popcorn balls, it's time to indulge in this delicious and festive treat. These make for great gifts, party favors, or a sweet addition to your holiday dessert table. So, gather your loved ones and enjoy these scrumptious popcorn balls this Christmas!
