How to Make Loaded Candy Popcorn Balls

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). In a large bowl, combine 10 cups of popped popcorn with 1 cup crushed mini graham crackers.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine 16 ounces (2 cups) of marshmallows and 1/2 cup (1 stick) of margarine or butter.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  4. Carefully pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and graham cracker mixture.
  5. Gently toss to ensure all the popcorn is evenly coated.
  6. Stir in 1 ½ cups of candy corn (or 1 ½ cups mini M&Ms).
  7. Working quickly and using lightly greased hands, shape the mixture into 20 even-sized balls. Press firmly to ensure they hold their shape.
  8. Place the popcorn balls onto a large sheet of greased waxed paper to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, wrap each popcorn ball individually in colorful plastic wrap.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
