Popcorn Balls with Peanuts and Raisins image

For popping kernels, follow instructions on package, or use 12 cups plain popped microwave popcorn (without salt or butter). Also, try substituting other types of dried fruit and nuts for the raisins and peanuts.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons butter
1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows
12 cups plain unsalted popped popcorn, (from 2/3 cup kernels)
1/2 cup unsalted peanuts
1/2 cup raisins

Steps:

  • In a medium nonstick saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over low heat. Add 1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows; cook, stirring, until melted, 10 to 12 minutes. In a large bowl, combine 12 cups plain unsalted popped popcorn (from 2/3 cup kernels), 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts, and 1/2 cup raisins (be careful not to mix in any un-popped kernels).
  • Pour melted marshmallows over popcorn mixture, and fold to combine. You will need to work quickly since the sugar in the marshmallows hardens as it cools. Rub a little butter into your hands to prevent sticking, and gently form 12 balls, each about 2 1/2 inches across; place on waxed paper. Let set until cool and firm, about 10 minutes.

INTERESTING FRUITY POPCORN BALLS



Interesting Fruity Popcorn Balls image

These are such a change from the everyday popcorn balls. This recipe came from the Jello website and my daughter and I made them for her class at Christmas. They are super yummy and the kids get a kick out of the different flavors and vibrant colors. I left out the nuts and they turned out great. They are nice and soft to chew, not like some popcorn balls that can be hard to bite into. These were a hit in our house, I hope you like them also!
