Equipment

  • large bowl
  • Large pot
  • Spatula
  • baking sheet
  • silicone mat or parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Popcorn Mixture

  • 16 cups popped popcorn about 1 standard size bag of popcorn
  • 10 oz mini marshmallows
  • ¼ cup butter ½ stick
  • 1 bag Wilton bright white candy melts
  • candy eye balls used regular sized ones

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Place the popcorn in a large bowl (or 2 large bowls to make mixing easier).
  • In a large pot over medium heat, melt the mini marshmallows and butter. Stir occasionally until smooth.
  • Pour the melted mixture over the popcorn (dividing between 2 bowls if necessary). Stir with a spatula until the popcorn is coated.
  • Butter your hands and begin to form the popcorn into balls. You can make taller balls like the shape of a ghost, or whatever you prefer.
  • Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Allow the balls to cool and firm up.
  • Melt the white candy melts according to the package instructions. Dip the tops of the popcorn balls into the melted chocolate and return to the baking sheet.
  • Allow the chocolate to set for 1-2 minutes before adding candy eye balls to each ball.
  • Allow the chocolate to set before serving. If you’ll be serving them the next day, place them in a tupperware container.

Notes

You can display them in a large tray on top of Halloween colored M&Ms with some fake spiders added in!
