I know it is too late for Halloween this year, but I had to post this for thoughts on next! I also think that candy corns are great through Thanksgiving, so why not give this a try now (if your sugar high is starting to lower!!)!
I found this last year, but didn't get a chance to try until now! I am not a huge candy corn fan, but really liked these. I also think I may try these again with M&M's in it instead!
(Cooking Light)
- 8 cups popped light butter microwave popcorn - about 1 bag (I used the full butter!)
- 1 cup candy corn (or try M&M's)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 (10 ounce) bag marshmallows
- Cooking Spray
Combine popcorn and candy corn in a large bowl.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; stir in salt and marshmallows. Reduce heat to low; cook for 7 minutes or until the marshmellows melt and the mixture is smooth, stirring frequently.
Pour marshmallow mixture over popcorn mixture, stirring well to coat. Lightly coat hands with cooking spray; shape popcorn into balls and place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. You may need to reapply the cooking spray to your hands as you go!
My popcorn balls seem either to get too hard or to stay soft--sounds like these ones worked well?
