Ingredients: (Makes 25-30 depending on size!)
1 cup popcorn kernels, plus ingredients to make
1 1/4 cup butter (2 1/2 sticks)
1 1/4 cup honey
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
cooking spray for your hands and the pan
air heads xtremes candy
Directions:
1. Make the popcorn according to the package.
2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and generously spray a baking pan with cooking spray.
3. Heat the butter, salt, and honey in a saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted, stirring occasionally.
4. After the butter is melted, turn up the heat until a gentle boil is reached.
5. Let boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6. Remove from the heat and stir in the 2 tsp vanilla extract until combined.
7. Pour into the prepared pan.
8. Add the popcorn a little at a time and stir to coat. (Be sure not to add any left over kernels that didn’t pop! You don’t want to bite into those!)
9. After all of the popcorn is added and coated which does take a while, put into the oven for 25 minutes. (Open the oven door and stir every 5 minutes until it is all golden brown, but not burnt.)
10. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes.
11. Spray your hands with cooking spray and form into balls. If you are using the rainbow candy firmly press them into each ball. Let set and enjoy!!!
These little popcorn balls are so good! I’m not sure I have ever made popcorn balls before, but I definitely will again! The honey/butter mixture turned them such a pretty color of gold which was perfect for this recipe! I like that they are smaller too so they are easy snacks! Thanks for watching and Hapy St. Patrick’s Day!!!
