S’mores Popcorn Balls {National Popcorn Day}
We agreed on S’mores Popcorn Balls within mere minutes.
When I said to my sister Sarah “tomorrow is National Popcorn Day” without hesitation she exclaimed “Popcorn Balls.”
We both have fond memories of making Popcorn Balls.
Popcorn Balls were an early sign of Halloween. Our Mom spent hours popping, rolling, and wrapping these nostalgic treats. We would hand them out to trick-or-treaters.
Kettle Corn, Golden Grahams, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips would be the base for our S’mores version of this old-time recipe. Marshmallow Fluff and melted butter would bring it all together <3
Just for fun and a little extra flavor we drizzled the popcorn mixture with melted white and dark chocolate. At this point, without any rolling or wrapping, you have a heavenly snack mix worthy of any Friday family movie night!
But we set out to make S’mores Popcorn Balls and popcorn balls we would make. Melted butter combined with marshmallow creme (think Rice Krispie Treats) was the sugary glue we used to hold our s’mores ingredients together.
Mom wrapped popcorn balls in wax paper. Parchment paper worked equally as well, right down to the twisted ends.
We’re planning to Share the Love with these S’mores Popcorn Balls. How are you celebrating National Popcorn Day?
