• This is a very quick and very easy recipe. No muss, no fuss!
• In a medium pan under low heat, add the marshmallows and butter.
• Stir continuously until the butter and marshmallows melt.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in popcorn. (Sticky alert!) I coat my wooden spoon with cooking spray to help stir the popcorn in the marshmallow mixture.
• Now the fun part! Mix in your desired amount of Halloween sprinkles.
• I use the sprinkle, mix, evaluate method before just dumping in a bunch of sprinkles, but the dump and stir method works too. For little kids to participate the dump and stir method works very well!
• Using disposable gloves I spritz cooking spray on the gloves to help form the popcorn ball lollipops.
• Form mini popcorn balls to the size desired. I like the mini size which is a ball that fits in the palm of my hand and is perfect to individually wrap for Halloween parties.
• Place the popcorn balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• I had a package of candy eyeballs in the pantry so added one eyeball to each Pop for a Halloween touch, but the eyeball is optional!

Making Halloween Popcorn Balls Into Lollipops

• By the time you are finished making 24 popcorn balls the popcorn balls will be ready for the lollipop sticks.
• Insert the lollipop sticks.
• Set the popcorn balls with the lollipop sticks.
• I pop the lollipops in the refrigerator for a quick set, about 10-15 minutes.
• You can leave the popcorn ball lollipops in longer, but warm to room temperature before serving.

Orange Halloween Popcorn Balls

• These popcorn balls are fun! These are sticky! These are sweet and kids love them as an easy Halloween treat.
• The mini Halloween Popcorn Ball Pops are also simple to package to make easy Halloween treats for school or parties.
• After the Lollipops are set, inset each Pop in a clear cellophane bag and make use of your craft stash to use extra ribbon for the ties.
• Easy as 1-2-3! I know there are 12 steps in the directions, but these Halloween treats are  very fast to make especially if assembly line style is used.
• I made 24 Pops in about 45 minutes including the time to set the popcorn balls.  This Halloween I made a batch for the school fundraiser and the Halloween popcorn balls for sale were a hit and sold out quickly.

How To Make Orange Halloween Popcorn Lollipops

• If you would like to add variety to your Popcorn Ball Pops skip the sprinkles. Simply add orange food coloring to the mixture for the Halloween season.
• I did not have orange food coloring on hand and simply mixed the red and yellow food coloring with the popcorn ball mixture. Use multi color Lollipop sticks for a fun and slightly creepy Halloween food treat!
• A second way to make orange popcorn balls adds a little more sweet to the mix with orange colored sugar. Actually any color of decorating sugar can be used.
• Simply sprinkle the sugar on the completed lollipop before putting the lollipop in the refrigerator to set.
