This recipe was easy and perfect for a cooking lesson in my PreK classroom! -
I made these for Christmas and thinking measurements wrong. I put in 6 quarts popped corn and with 20 ounces of marshmallows (i only had large mallows 10 once package) it's way too gooey won't hold shape. Wont come off hand sb no how much butter on them, i won't use your recipe again thank you but no thanks -
This was a great recipe which I made with my neices who loved getting their hands into it and shaping the popcorn balls. I will definitely make this often as it's easy and quick and the kids loved it. I also added sprinkles to it to make it more fun and colorful. -
These are simple, easy to make, and taste good. I was going to let my grandkids help me make these, but I couldn't wait. I'm glad I did them myself - they are soooo sticky to make into balls! Fun recipe. Thanks for sharing.
