Can you believe Halloween is tomorrow? It feels like I was just making summer goodies in my kitchen, and now we’re already at the end of October.

Instead of dwelling on how fast time flies, let’s think happier thoughts and munch on these Caramel Popcorn Balls.

Ingredients:

These balls are nothing like the store-bought kind! With only five ingredients, you can control what goes into this treat and how it tastes. And let me tell you, these popcorn balls are oh-so good.

The caramel coating gives the popcorn a rich and delicious flavor.

  • Caramel sauce
  • Popped popcorn
  • Mini marshmallows 
  • Powdered sugar
  • Chocolate chips

How to Make Popcorn Balls:

Did I mention how easy these Caramel Popcorn Balls are to make? So easy, friends.

  1. Simply warm up some caramel sauce until it just begins to boil.
  2. Pour it over the popcorn and stir in some mini marshmallows and powdered sugar.
  3. Grease your hands with some cooking spray (a must if you don’t want sticky fingers) and form into about eight balls.
  4. Then drizzle some melted chocolate over the balls and let them set for a few minutes.

How to Store:

Store these in an airtight container at room temperature. They should last up to 5 days (but they’re really best eaten the day they’re made).

Tips and Tricks:

  • I used my homemade salted caramel sauce to make these easy popcorn balls, but you can use any kind you’d like. 
  • I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can use milk or dark if desired. Or, use a blend of chocolates! 
  • You can pop the popcorn yourself, or you can buy a bag of pre-popped popcorn at the store. Just make sure it’s not flavored!
