There are so many yummy things you can make with the Good Cook Popcorn Ballers.  I made Caramel Turtle Popcorn Balls for my official Good Cook Popcorn Ball event post but I decided to also make S’Mores Popcorn Balls, too.  Both flavors came out really delicious and were very easy to make.  The popcorn baller really helped to make the popcorn balls round and even sized.

Ingredients-

  • 16 cups popcorn (I popped it in a pot on the stove but you can choose any method you prefer)
  • 1 10 oz. bag miniature marshmallows
  • 1/2 c. butter
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips- divided 1 1/2 cups and 1/2 cups
  • 2 cups Golden Grahams cereal
  • 1 T. butter for your fingers (optional)

Directions-

~Pop popcorn any method you prefer.  I prefer popping it in a pot on the stove for this particular recipe.

P1180451
~ Melt butter and marshmallows in a medium pot over medium head stirring frequently.  When the marshmallows are almost fully melted, remove pot from burner and stir to fully melt the marshmallows.  Pour half of the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and fold gently to coat.  Pour the rest of the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and fold again until completely coated.

~Fold in Golden Grahams cereal and 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips until combined.  Allow to cool for a few minutes and fold in remaining chocolate chips so some retain their shape.

P1180455
~Spray popcorn baller with a light coat of non-stick cooking spray.  Fill baller with popcorn mixture in a heaping mound.  (You might prefer to butter your fingers to fill the baller and remove the popcorn ball from the mold.)
P1180456
~Place top on baller and press down until ball is formed.  Remove top of baller, take popcorn ball out of mold and place on waxed paper/parchment to cool and harden.  Enjoy!  (Store in airtight container or wrap individually in cellophane bag to give as gifts.)

caramel turtle popcorn balls

When I was selected to be part of Good Cook’s Popcorn Ballers event I had so many ideas of what flavors to make that I decided to make two different recipes- S’More Popcorn Balls and Caramel Turtle Popcorn Balls.  I had never made popcorn balls before but with the Good Cook Popcorn Baller it was really easy.  The baller made the popcorn balls round and even sized.  Good Cook also sent me other great items to help with the recipes including 2 bowls, a spatula, a candy thermometer, and a sauce pan.  You can find them all on the Good Cook website.good cook popcorn ball supplies

Ingredients-

  • 14 cups popcorn (I popped it in a pot on the stove but you can choose any method you prefer)

  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup pecans (whole or chopped)
  • 1 T. butter for your fingers (optional)
