Ingredients
Scale
Popcorn Balls
- 8 ounces white, milk or dark chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
- 4 cups popped plain popcorn
- Your choice of edible Halloween decorations: candy eyeballs, Halloween sprinkles, etc.
Instructions
- Prep Equipment: Grab or prepare your muffin pan and set aside. Use a 12-cup silicone muffin pan, 12 silicone baking cups on a baking sheet, or a regular muffin pan lined with plastic wrap pushed into the cups for easy removal.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water or microwave in 20-second increments, stirring until smooth. Avoid overheating or burning the chocolate.
- Mix: Pour the melted chocolate over the popcorn in a large mixing bowl, stirring until the popcorn is evenly coated with chocolate.
- Distribute + Decorate: Quickly spoon the chocolate popcorn mixture evenly into the muffin pan or cups. Gently press candy eyeballs and Halloween sprinkles onto each popcorn ball to decorate them.
- Set: Place the filled muffin pan in the fridge and chill until the chocolate is completely set and hardened, about 20 minutes. Once set, pop the popcorn balls out of the pan and enjoy.
Notes
- Storage: Best eaten the same day but can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for a few days.
- If you don’t have a silicone muffin pan, line a regular muffin tin with plastic wrap to easily remove the popcorn balls.
- For a stronger chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate; for a sweeter taste, use milk or white chocolate.
