Marshmallow Cinnamon Bear Popcorn
This is one of the best Marshmallow Popcorn recipes that can easily be made with or without cinnamon bears. You can easily adapt this White Chocolate Popcorn Recipe for each season. I colored the popcorn pink, but you can color it whatever you'd like and add your favorite seasonal gummy or cinnamon chewy candy.
As you can see by some of the pictures, I chose not to do popcorn balls but rather put the popcorn in little 8-ounce clear cups. It makes eating the marshmallow popcorn balls a little easier and much less messy.
This would be perfect for taking into a classroom for a valentines party too. It's a nut-free treat and can be made dairy-free too.

Ingredients in White Chocolate Drizzled Popcorn
- Popcorn Kernels - you will need about 1 cup of unpopped kernels or about 2 large bowls of air popped popcorn.
- Marshmallows - you will want to use mini marshmallows for this recipe. The large ones aren't bite-sized enough.
- Butter - you can use either salted or unsalted butter. It's up to you!
- Sugar - this recipe calls for white granulated sugar.
- Karo Syrup - this helps the sugar mixture stay semi-soft and keeps it from crystallizing.
- White Chocolate Chips - you can use any brand that you want. Or, chop up a bar of white chocolate.
- Cinnamon Bears Candy - you can also use cinnamon hearts or skip the candy altogether.
- Red Food Coloring - this is completely optional. It turns the popcorn a light pink color which is nice for Valentine's Day.
How to Make Marshmallow Cinnamon Bear Popcorn Balls
- Combine the popped popcorn and half of the marshmallows. In a couple of large bowls, add half the bag of marshmallows and toss.
- Cook the butter and sugar mixture. In a large saucepan, melt the butter, then add the sugar and Karo Syrup. Bring to a rapid boil while stirring and boil for 1 minute.
- Add the marshmallows and chocolate. After 1 minutes, add the rest of the marshmallows, the white chocolate chips, and the food coloring. Bring to a rapid boil again, then remove the marshmallow mixture from the heat.
- Combine with the popcorn. Pour half of the marshmallow/white chocolate mixture over the popcorn into each bowl. Use a large mixing spoon to cover the popcorn in marshmallow mixture. Add popcorn, a couple of cups at a time, until your popcorn is covered in marshmallow mixture to your liking. Add the cinnamon bears and mix again.
- Let cool. Spread the popcorn mixture on the greased cookie sheet. Let the popcorn cool and then shape into popcorn balls or put into small clear cups to make it easier to eat. Enjoy!
Tips for Marshmallow Cinnamon Popcorn Balls
- This is a great marshmallow and white chocolate popcorn base.
- You can adapt this popcorn recipe to any season. Just use your favorite seasonal gummy candy or cinnamon bear and color the marshmallow mixture any color you want.
- You can make this a day before you need it.
- This is a great popcorn ball recipe. You can make it into individual popcorn balls, wrap in saran wrap, or put it in a plastic, clear, 8-ounce cup for less mess and easier cleanup.
- When adding the popcorn, always start with only half the called-for amount and then slowly add in more popcorn as you want. It's best to have at least some of the popcorn fully covered in the marshmallow mixture.
- Store the leftovers in a plastic ziplock bag to save for a later date.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your popcorn balls are falling apart, you most likely have too much popcorn compared to the marshmallow mixture. Make sure to add only enough popcorn to where you can still form little balls.
