Description

These popcorn balls are always a hit when I make them for birthday parties or classroom parties and they are super fun to make!

Ingredients

  • 1 bag Microwavable Popcorn (3.3 Oz.)
  • 1 bag White Chocolate Chips, 12 Oz

Preparation

Note: Prep time includes popcorn ball assembly.

Using two generous pieces of cling wrap per pan, loosely line two standard cupcake pans. This will help your popcorn balls from sticking to the pans. Microwave the popcorn according to directions, usually 2 minutes for a 3.3 ounce bag. Carefully pour popped popcorn into a large bowl, making sure to discard any kernals that may not have popped.

Next, melt the white chocolate chips over a double boiler and stir until smooth. Pour over popcorn and coat well. Spoon the popcorn mixture into each cupcake mold until you form a ball about the size of a baseball. Once you are done, transfer the pans to the refigerator and chill for about 2 hours or until set. Serve in paper cupcake liners or clear favor bags tied with a decorative ribbon.

Decorating Tip: After coating the popcorn with white chocolate you may want to stir in candy, nuts, or sprinkles to dress-up your popcorn balls.

Enjoy!

I made these for our Halloween party. I used microwave “white popcorn” to keep the white-theme going (and because we like the taste of the white popcorn).

The melted white chocolate chips don’t have a lot of flavor and when I ate some of the mixed up gooey mess from the pan I was underwhelmed.

However, after refrigeration, when they came out of the fridge they were wonderful tasting! It made all the difference.

Note: I ignored the recommended cupcake liners and went with a traditional ball hand-squeezed inside of a square of saran-wrap. I recommend the liners instead as the chocolate gets brittle and they tended to break and get dust/fragments everywhere
