We always had popcorn balls at Christmastime when I was growing up. A couple years ago, my mother gave me this recipe for an updated version.Vicki Theis, Shakoppe, Minnesota Ingredients:
1 package (16 ounces) miniature marshmallows |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
1/2 cup canola oil |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 quarts popped popcorn |
2-1/2 cups m&m's® brand chocolate candies |
1 jar (16 ounces) dry roasted peanuts |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir the marshmallows, butter and oil until the marshmallows are melted. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and salt.
2. In a very large bowl, combine the popcorn, M&M's and peanuts. Pour marshmallow mixture over popcorn and mix well. Press into two greased 13-in. x 9-in. pans. Let stand for 2 hours or until set. Cut into bars and remove from pans. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 9 dozen.
