Pink Popcorn Balls

15 years ago

This recipe is very frugal, and lots of fun (especially for the kids). It is, however, a messy project. Please note that our family is not afraid of messy projects. As Emily would say, “Messy project? Bring it ON!!” Also, it is not in the least bit healthy. My advice is to let the kids enjoy these, then quickly take them to the nearest playground and let them burn off that sugar high. If a playground is not available, try padding the walls of your house with thick cushions because they will be bouncing off of them.

To make your own pink popcorn balls, you will need:

2 Quarts Air Popped Popcorn

3 Tbsp. Butter

4 Tbsp. Raspberry or Strawberry Gelatin Mix

1 1/2 Cups Mini Marshmallows

Pop the popcorn in the air-popper and set aside. In a small bowl, combine butter and marshmallows. Microwave on high for about 50 seconds. Stir in gelatin mix until the marshmallow mixture is smooth.

Pour over popcorn.

Stir until popcorn is completely coated.

Spray your hands with non-stick cooking spray, and form popcorn mixture into balls.

Enjoy! Then run around like a crazy person.

Mmmm… yummy! And so much fun!!
