Pretty much these are the easiest kind of dessert you’ll ever make – 3 ingredient Popcorn Balls. They take minutes to make but are sticky sweet.
The fun thing about this recipe is that you can use different flavors of marshmallows. There are pink ones, tropical ones, and the plain version as well. Try all kinds of varieties out! And here’s one quick tip:
Roll out some wax paper and spray it with cooking spray. Lay the popcorn balls down on the sprayed paper so that they don’t stick.

How far in advance can I make these?
These are our family Christmas tradition. As long as I can remember we have made red and green ones each year. My husband and I have kept up the tradition too. We did “family traditions” for our wedding favors and made these and Russian tea cookies (my husbands family tradition) along with a recipe card for each. We also add vanilla to the melted marshmallows. Everything is better with vanilla!
Great delivery. Solid arguments. Keep up the great
work.
