Ingredients:
- 16 cups popped popcorn
- one 10 oz bag of mini marshmallows
- 1/2 stick butter (1/4 cup)
- 1 package Wilton bright white candy melts
- candy eye balls (regular sized ones)
Directions:
- Place the popcorn in a large bowl (or 2 large bowls to make mixing easier).
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the mini marshmallows and butter. Stir occasionally until smooth.
- Pour the melted mixture over the popcorn (dividing between 2 bowls if you divided the popcorn). Stir with a spatula until the popcorn is coated.
- Butter your hands and begin to form the popcorn into balls. You can make taller balls like the shape of a ghost, or whatever you prefer.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Allow the balls to cool and firm up. (30 minutes to 1 hour)
- Melt the white candy melts according to the package. You can add vegetable shortening or vegetable oil to help thin out the chocolate if desired.
- Dip the tops of the popcorn balls into the melted chocolate and return to the baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to set for 1-2 minutes before adding candy eye balls to each ball.
- You can try to add the eyes right away, but they may slide off if the chocolate is too hot.
- Allow the chocolate to set before serving. If you'll be serving them the next day, place them in a tupperware container.
- You can display them in a fun way! You can display them in a large tray on top of halloween colored m&ms with some fake spiders added in!
