Ingredients
Scale
- 10 cups of popped popcorn (ensure all unpopped kernels are removed)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 bag (10 ounces) of halal-certified marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Orange food coloring (gel works best)
- 1/2 cup Halloween-themed sprinkles or dark chocolate chips
- Non-stick cooking spray or extra butter for your hands
Instructions
- Place the popped popcorn into a very large mixing bowl. Sift through it to make sure no hard, unpopped kernels remain at the bottom.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
- Add the marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and orange food coloring. Add the coloring one drop at a time until you reach your desired shade of Halloween orange.
- Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn. Use a large spatula to gently fold the popcorn until every piece is evenly coated.
- If you are using sprinkles or chocolate chips, fold them in quickly while the mixture is still sticky.
- Lightly grease your hands with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Scoop up a handful of the mixture and gently press it into a ball about the size of a baseball. Do not squeeze too hard, or the popcorn balls will become too dense.
- Place the finished balls on a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper to cool and set completely.
