Make Popcorn Balls with the Whole Family

1. Make Popcorn Balls with the Whole Family Popcorn balls are delicious snacks that could be enjoyed by the whole family. There are many popcorn brands that sell readymade popcorn balls but they only bring them out during holidays like Halloween or Christmas. Don’t worry though, they are very easy to make. Go Online For an Awesome Gourmet Popcorn Recipe There are a lot of popcorn balls recipes in the internet. They are not all the same. Some have more ingredients than others. It is up to you how to make popcorn balls. Basically, you need gourmet popcorn, butter and a sticky ingredient like corn syrup to hold them together. Other flavorings like chocolate or vanilla and even dye is optional. It depends on your preference. All You Need Is Three Ingredients. I saw a recipe online that only involves three ingredients: popcorn, butter and marshmallows. The first step is to pop the popcorn then melt the butter. After melting the butter, it is time to melt the marshmallows in the butter. It is advisable to pop the popcorn over the stove then use the microwave to melt the butter and the marshmallows. Once the butter and the marshmallows are melted, you have to mix the popcorn with it. You have to make sure that every kernel of popcorn is covered by the butter and marshmallow mixture. Then here comes the fun part: forming the balls. You just have to take in a handful and then form it into a ball. It is quite easy, right?

2. This recipe is great because not only does it take three ingredients to make, it has marshmallows which serves as the sticking agent and as the sweetener. If you are like me, a big marshmallow head, you would understand why that is such a big deal. It Can Be A Fun Family Activity. The best thing about making these delicious snacks at home is that you can make it a family activity. Of course, everything involving fire should only be done by the adult but the kids can lend a big hand in mixing and forming the balls. The kids can also decide what ingredients they would want in their popcorn ball. If they want caramel popcorn balls, chocolate balls or even both, then making these snacks would be more advisable than making them.

3. It Is Easy To Make and Affordable. I love these treats. They are very yummy and they are very apt for the holidays, or for any occasion for that matter. I can dye them the color orange or add some candy corn for the Halloween. I can wrap them up in pretty wrappers and give them away to kids. Halloween popcorn balls sounds like a good treat instead of buying those expensive Halloween candy. I can also dye them red or green for the Christmas season. I can give them to my relatives as Christmas treats. I can put them in pretty popcorn gift boxes and give them away as presents. The sky is the limit and well, they are easy on the wallet.
