Instructions

  1. Pop popcorn and pour it into a large bowl, removing any un-popped kernels.
  2. In a medium pot over medium-high heat, combine powdered sugar, marshmallows, corn syrup, margarine, water, and food coloring. Heat and stir until the mixture comes to a boil.
  3. Carefully pour over the popcorn, stirring to coat each kernel.
  4. Let cool a bit, then butter your fingers so you can easily handle and shape popcorn into 3–4-inch balls before they cool.
  5. Wrap with plastic wrap and store at room temperature.

Notes

  • Make ahead of time. Wrap balls with plastic wrap and store them at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Serving suggestion. Make the balls a little bit smaller and insert a popsicle stick into the middle of each one before wrapping to eliminate some of the mess and stickiness that comes with these.
