Young and old alike enjoy munching on—and makeing—these chewy popcorn balls. Young goblins especially like them around Halloween. —Lisa Allbright, Crockett, Texas
Ingredients:
4 quarts popped popcorn
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 package (10-1/2 ounces) miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 package (3 ounces) lemon gelatin
1 to 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
Directions:
1. Place popcorn and peanuts in a large bowl. In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat marshmallows and butter on high for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes or until melted; stir in gelatin powder until dissolved. Pour over popcorn mixture and toss to coat.
2. With lightly buttered hands, quickly shape mixture into twelve 2-1/2-in. balls. Let stand at room temperature until firm before wrapping in plastic wrap. Yield: 12 servings.
