Cooking Games and Popcorn Balls


What could be better for fall than popcorn balls? You can make these simply cooking games at home on a cold fall afternoon, although you should plan to eat them right away. Popcorn balls don’t last long and can get harder over time if they are not wrapped or eaten immediately.

To make the popcorn ball cooking games, you’ll start with salted popcorn. You can use unsalted, plain popcorn, but it makes everything a bit bland. Pop your popcorn and put it aside. Melt half a stick of butter in a very large pot and then add ¼ cup of brown sugar. Stir the sugar and butter together before adding 4 cups of marshmallows. Melt the marshmallows and stir very well. Turn off the heat and then add the popcorn. Stir it gently until all of the popcorn is covered in the marshmallow mixture.

Press the balls into shape by hand and wrap or eat immediately. Letting the balls sit will make them dry out almost immediately.
