I made these fun treats for my boys and am now making them for the grandkids. Great anytime of the year, but especially good at Halloween for trick or treaters. A combination of rocky road candy and sweet popcorn, rolled into a ball.
Original recipe makes 16 popcorn balls
Ingredients
3 cups miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup butter
8 cups freshly popped popcorn
1/2 cup dry-roasted unsalted peanuts
