How to Make Candy Corn Popcorn Balls
- In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of popped popcorn and 1 ½ cups of candy corn.
- In a large saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of salt and then add 1 (10 ounce) bag of miniature marshmallows.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and candy corn mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure all the popcorn is evenly coated.
- Lightly grease your hands with cooking spray or butter.
- Shape the popcorn mixture into approximately 20 balls. For perfectly round balls, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the mixture.
- Place the popcorn balls on wax paper to cool completely before serving or storing.
