Ingredients
- 16 cups air popped popcorn about 2 large bowls popped (about 1 cup kernals if air-popping)
- 14 ounces marshmallows
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup karo syrup
- 1 1/2 cups White Chocolate chips
- 6 drops green food coloring
- 1 cup Red Candy red M&Ms, heart sprinkles, or cinnamon hearts,
Instructions
- Pop the popcorn and add to 2 large bowls, reserving about 1-2 cups on the side to mix in if you need them.
- In a large saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a rapid boil over medium heat while stirring, then boil for 1 full minute.
- After 1 minute, reduce the heat to low and add the marshmallows, white chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and green food coloring. Stir and continue to heat until the marshmallows are almost melted. Remove from the heat and stir until completely melted.
- Pour half of the marshmallow mixture into one of the popcorn bowls and half into the other. Use a large mixing spoon to cover the popcorn in marshmallow mixture, adding more popcorn if needed. You want the popcorn to be covered in the marshmallow mixture but not dry. Add 1/2 cup of the red candies to each large bowl and stir again.
- Spread the popcorn mixture on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Let the popcorn cool and then shape into popcorn balls or put into small clear cups to make it easy to eat. Enjoy!
