INSTRUCTIONS
• Pop both bags of popcorn and place into a large bowl
• In a small pot over medium heat, combine corn syrup, margarine, water, sugar, and marshmallows. Stir until completely melted and let it come to a boil.
• Pour the mixture over the popcorn and coat each piece. Add in the candies and stir. (I split mine into two batches so that it would mix easier).
• Grease your hands and shape the popcorn mixture into balls.
• Wrap or store in an airtight container at room temperature BUT i suggest eating them right away, even when given as a gift (see below)
• Optional- place each ball into a cellophane bag and tie it with a ribbon. Pair with other treats in a holiday gift box.
