If you like more caramel taste... I used 4 cups marsh. 1 cup caramel bits 1 teas. vanilla and these are more caramel less rice krispie like. Very good. They set up perfect. I have made these both ways and both are very good it just depends on taste.

I found this recipe about 3 years ago. We started making them at Christmas time. Since then we make them for other holidays. Halloween - we add candy corn, Valentine's Day - cinnamon red hots. My father has eaten many a popcorn ball in his years and these are his FAVORITE (even with dentures)..LOL They can be tricky at times to sticking together...we always butter our hands well before working with the popcorn!

Yesterday at 4:30 pm - my Boyfriend remembered that he was supposed to send treats for his sons kindergarden class. I thought popcorn balls would be great so I jumped in here to find a recipe. They turned out beautiful - I double the recipe, added the brown sugar as recommended and a spash of vanilla - 26 perfectly sized popcorn balls for the class. Easiest recipe I have used for this - the marshmallows kind of made it like a rice crispy treat with popcorn. THANKS!!!

These were so easy to make and my toddlers gobbled them up. However, I followed the advice of another reviewer and added 1/2 cup of brown sugar. I thought they were a bit to sweet. Maybe a couple of tablespoons instead or jello flavoring. I also colored mine orange for upcoming halloween partys. I thought it looked cute.

We loved this recipe! My kids love popcorn but not the hard little caramel rocks that I produced with previous recipes. These were the soft and chewy popcorn balls that we were all looking for. Thanks!

super easy for a rainy afternoon! We did 1 bag mircrowave kettle corn, and 3 tbsp. butter, 1 1/2 tbsp. brown sugar, a dash of vanilla, and 3/4 of a bag of large marshmallows. It's what I had on hand- very good, the kids loved them! I'd like to add peanuts next time.

These were so yummy! I don't particularly like hard caramel corn, and this had a soft, chewy texture even after cooling. I did add about 1/2 cup brown sugar to the butter to add a golden color and make it taste a bit more like caramel corn. Kids loved it, husband too! Highly recommend!

Great and easy recipe. I added watermelon flavoring (1/2 tsp of LoriAnn Gourmet Flavoring and green sprinkle)--kids and everyone else just LOVED them. I am going to try other flavors too---Thanks for recipe.

Turned out great! I made these for halloween & were easy. I heated the ingredients in the microwave- I then added a small pkg of strawberry jello. It came out a bit too soft to shape into balls so I spread it out on a cookie sheet until it firmed up to shape. But it was worth the wait!

These are soooo yummy, and way easier than traditional popcorn balls. It's even easier if you use microwave popcorn - I used 2 bags of Kettle Corn, which made them nice and sweet. My classmates loved them!

Made around 70 balls for my halloween party...they came out perfect...I took this recipe and made it my own...microwave popcorn...two bags to half bag of mini marshmallows with the butter too of course... I then melted everything in the microwave...laid the popcorn out on wax paper with seeds out. Then poured the mallows over that. Then made the balls. No big mess with the nasty bowl or squishy the popcorn with a spoon. Easy, Quick! After I formed the balls and let them sit a bit I put them in halloween baggies. SO GOOD!

These are great! I haven't had a popcorn ball since I was a kid...our neighbor used to make them for Halloween. That's exactly what I did for my girls' Halloween parties this year, and they were a huge success! I brought them to work, too, and they were gone very quickly. They are easy and fun to make....just make sure your hands are well greased!

These were pretty good...they were certainly easy enough to make. I used microwave popcorn (2 bags of light), I used a bag of lg. marshmallows & I added candy corn. I made 10 lg balls, wrapped them in plastic wrap & tied them off w/ orange & black curling ribbon. Very festive & my grandkids enjoyed them...thanks!

I popped a few bags of microwave popcorn and added it to the marshmallow mix until it looked like enough. These were really good. I had some left over melted caramel and chocolate from making caramel apples, so I drizzled the popcorn balls with caramel and chocolate. very good.......

I think these are pretty good. They are definatly easy to make. They were more chewey than I expected. But still good. I made 20 smaller balls with this recipe. I also added 2 tsp brown sugar to give it some color, and orange and black sprinkles to make them cute for halloween. I will definatly make these again.
