spring/easter edible craft: popcorn ball trees

Pin It





This was a fun easter treat to make. Kirsten loves popcorn and marshmallows so it was a no-brainer that she would love them together. Here's what you'll need to assemble them:

coloured tins (dollarama)
floral foam (to wedge into the coloured tin)
lollypop sticks
easter grass

And here's the recipe:

10 cups popped popcorn
1 bag mini marshmallows
1 stick butter
1/2 pkg of jello (optional, only if you want your popcorn balls to be coloured or flavoured)

Place your popped popcorn in the largest bowl you have. In a pot on the stovetop melt the stick of butter. Add in the bag of marshmallows and melt completely while stirring constantly. You can optionally add in 1/2 pkg of jello for coloured or flavoured popcorn balls (I kind of like them just plain the best, but colours sure are pretty). When the mixture is completely melted, pour it over your popped popcorn. Mix it together really well. With well-greased hands (spray with pam), form balls out of the mixture. Insert lollypop stick. Allow to dry on wax paper. Enjoy! Pin It
