\"Mini<\/p>\n

Quick Facts<\/strong>
\nPrep Time: 20 minutes
\nCook Time: 5 minutes
\nYield: 24 to 30 mini popcorn balls\n<\/div>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 package microwave popcorn, popped (about 9 to 10 cups)<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup salted peanuts<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pretzels<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup Karo\u00ae Light Corn Syrup<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup butter OR margarine<\/li>\n
  • 1 package (11 ounces) butterscotch chips OR white chocolate chips<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup candy coated peanut butter pieces<\/li>\n
  • 30 lollipop sticks, about 5 inches in length<\/li>\n
  • White chocolate, melted for decorating<\/li>\n
  • Small candies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     
    \nDirections<\/strong>
    \n1. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Add popcorn, peanuts and pretzels.<\/p>\n

    2. Cook corn syrup and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, bring to a full boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat; add butterscotch chips, stirring until melted. Pour over popcorn mixture and mix well. Stir in candies.<\/p>\n

    3. Let cool until easy to handle. Form into balls about 2 inches in diameter using lightly greased hands (or use gloves). Place each ball on waxed paper. Let sit 1 hour. Insert a lollipop stick about 1 inch into each ball.<\/p>\n

    Each ball can be wrapped individually in plastic wrap, then tied with a bit of ribbon. Popcorn balls are best when served within 1 to 2 days.<\/p>\n

    Decorating Tips:<\/strong> Melt white chocolate. Insert stick into popcorn ball and dip into white chocolate, turning to coat. Finish with candy eyes or other small candies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
