Who doesn’t love popcorn? These Popcorn, Marshmallows and Chocolate Balls are almost too much to handle. They are gooey and chewy with just the right amount of crunch. They are perfect for transporting to a party, make a great snack for family movie night and - who am I kidding? They're great anytime! Party popcorn treats that just about everyone will love! Wrapped in cellophane bags, these popcorn balls also make great edible gifts. Just make sure to save some for yourself. I guarantee no one else will want to share theirs with you! These certainly aren’t fancy, but sometimes it’s the simple recipes that bring the biggest smiles! You can get more creative and add shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, peanut butter chips or chopped nuts to the popcorn mixture before making the balls. If you want some color, after the balls are ready, you can add some colored sprinkles or colored sugar to garnish. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did at my house!
