  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 10 cups popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup unpopped kernels)
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup mini marshmallows
– 1/4 cup butter
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Black decorating gel or edible eyes for decoration


Instructions

Creating Ghost Popcorn Balls is an enjoyable process that results in spooktacular treats. Follow these steps for perfect results:

1. Pop the Popcorn: Prepare popcorn according to package instructions. Set aside, ensuring it is fully popped and unbuttered.

2. Prepare the Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, butter, and salt. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves.

3. Add Marshmallows: Mix in the mini marshmallows. Stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.

4. Combine Popcorn and Mixture: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popped popcorn. Gently stir until all popcorn is coated.

5. Cool the Mixture: Allow the popcorn mixture to cool slightly, enough to handle it with your hands but not so cool that it hardens.

6. Shape the Ghosts: Lightly butter your hands to prevent sticking. Take small amounts of the popcorn mixture and shape them into round balls.

7. Add Eyes: Using black decorating gel or edible eyes, place them on each popcorn ball to give them a ghostly appearance.

8. Set the Shape: Place the formed popcorn balls on a lined baking sheet, allowing them to cool completely and harden.

9. Serve: Once cooled, arrange the Ghost Popcorn Balls on a platter and they are ready to serve!

These simple steps will guide you beautifully in making magical Ghost Popcorn Balls for all to enjoy.
