Easy Marshmallow Popcorn Ball Recipe
- Prepopped, plain popcorn
- 1 pound of marshmallow
- 1 stick butter or margarine
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Melt the butter and marshmallows together and then stir in vanilla flavoring. Pour over the popcorn, coating evenly. Let the kids put butter on their hands so they can shape the sticky popcorn mixture into popcorn balls, or whatever shape they want.
Thanks to Halloween Preschool Unit Plan on Suite101.com for the recipe idea.
Creative Ways to Use Your Popcorn Balls!
Jello Popcorn Ball
- 9 Cups of plain, pre-popped popcorn
- 1/4 Cup butter
- 10 ounce package marshmallows
- 6 Tablespoons flavored Jello mix
Part of the fun is selecting a jello flavor and color that you like. Melt butter and marshmallows, then dissolve gelatin into the mixture, stirring rapidly. When everything is mixed, pour it over the popcorn and stir gently. Buttering your hands to shape the popcorn is the best part of the fun!

im happy that you acutally use mashmallows and not corn syrup
My whole house is this grey green. Because we live in Seattle and it is dark and rainy most of the year it can be gloomy. I am thinking of painting my kitchen and nook and hallways a lt. soft creamy yellow with a hint of orange. I was considering BM antique lace 922,devon cream or cookie dough 916. My thought was to get a lt.warm color that blends with the cabinets. I like an old world shabby vintage look.The kitchen and nook face SE and are open to the family room. Do you think that color would look nice in my kitchen? Any ideas for specific colors? I also would love a color idea for the family room. Something a bit warmer and bit darker as it has very high ceilings and faces east. The family room has a rock faced fireplace with lt. cool browns and the carpet is a soft cool taupe-beige. The wall of windows are wrapped in heavy white trim. I currently have lots of dark furniture (lt.taupe brown leather couch, dark wood piano ect. I am hoping to change the furniture eventually to med or lighter shades.
