I made this in cooking class and it was great. We used 2 bags of microwave popcorn. For the people who ruined theirs u probally forgot to take the pot off the stove before u put the popcorn and candies in so try it that way and it will come out better and prettier.

These were not my favourite. The chocolate candies melted and made them look very unappealing. Others loved them though.

Just made this! Adding red food coloring for holiday fun & I used holiday M&M's and they looked adorable. Pulled out my old air popper for the first time in ages, not sure how much poped popcorn I had, about 6-8 cups (1/2 cup unpopped)it was perfect. I had no problem with the balls keeping shape, I just used lots of butter on my hands and took from the top of the pan (cooler) shaped in to palm sized balls and set on wax paper to set up. Thanks! I think I will make a green batch to go with it for neighbor treats!!

We just tried this recipe after looking for things to do with an abundance of marshmallows in the pantry. My son suggested trying CHOCOLATE marshmallow. I ended up using a whole (10 oz.) bag of chocolate and 1/2 bag of regular large marshmallows (or approx. 6 oz.). I probably ended up using at least 10 cups of popcorn (microwave) and cannot imagine the recipe with only two. I must say that these are surprisingly pretty good. They ain't pretty and I would suggest a very large pot and a strong arm!!! The kids will love them and we will try without chocolate marshmallows one day.

These were GREAT!!! If you overcook the marshmellows a tad til they brown, it hardens when cooled like carmel. My kids loved these.

Very good! Kids loved em too! My littlest one even wanted to take them to school when it was her day to take treats. 8 or so cups of popped corn is what I used. I think 2 is a typo.

I just made a bunch of these just now for my sons birthday party tomorrow I didn't use the chocolate bits though, I used sour candies. They taste GREAT! They stuck together very well, I added a bit more marshmallows though, just because we like them chewy. But all around a good recipe.

I made 100 popcorn balls for a fund raiser at the "Mitford Days" country fair in Blowing Rock, NC - they were a big hit! So sweet and yummy. So easy. My children ask for them weekly now. I did not put the candy in. I made them for Halloween with orange food coloring too.

I added a bit of chocolate, and maybe that's what ruined 'em... They just weren't firm enough to shape into balls.

I did this recipe with my modern-day Home- Ec class. It listed a 16 oz bag of large marshmallows, I could only find 10 oz bag. I agree with previous reviews proportions are wrong maybe they meant 10 oz. Anyway was fine when you added more popcorn.

We didn't have any candy coated chocolate pieces, but had a taste for candy popcorn, so made this without them. We did add a dash of nutmeg. It was pretty good and we'll make again with the candy pieces.

There should be more than two cups of popcorn in this recipe. Mine came out too marshmallow-y. They just need more popcorn.

This turned out great! I ended up using six cups of popcorn instead of two. Very easy to make. It reminds me of the chocolate covered popcorn that I bought from the boy scouts.

This recipe is a flop. It is not like rice crispy treats. The proportions are wrong. The butter marshmallow mixture is runny and deflates the popcorn into an unchewable mess.
