I've been loving these Popcorn Fridays! It's so much fun to get creative in the kitchen!
This week, I changed things up by getting sweet with popcorn. These party time popcorn balls are coated in marshmallow - much like a rice krispie treat!
I made two versions for my gathering. For the adults, I added cinnamon for a more grown-up flavor. For the kiddos, its all about the sprinkles!

The finished product is a cute popcorn ball. My kids would love this recipe. I bought a popcorn machines for sale and made several popcorn recipes that my kids go crazy about.
ReplyDeleteMaia, thanks for stopping by. I hope your kiddos enjoy!
DeleteI'm pretty sure children would love to eat those popcorn balls because it's nice-looking. Just make sure they brush their teeth well after eating those so they don't have to visit the cosmetic dentist in Marietta because of toothaches.
