The kids have been working on organizing an afterschool recipe book called Recipes for Enrichment. We hope to have it finished next week. Tuesday, we made popcorn balls from one of our recipes. Everyone in afterschool will get one Wednesday for snack (we didn't quite finish making all 100 popcorn balls). The recipe is so easy that we would like to share it with you here:
Afterschool Popcorn Balls
1/3 cup popcorn kernals (3 1/2 quarts already cooked popcorn)
1 - 10 oz. bag of Marshmallows (if you use the 16 oz. bag, pop more popcorn)
1/4 cup butter or margarine
Wax Paper
1. Melt the butter and marshmallows together in a bowl (we used the microwave). After the marshmallows and buter are melted, stir until the mixture is well blended.
2. Pop the popcorn and put in a large mixing bowl, this allows the marshmallow mixture time to cool some.
3. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and stir until all the popcorn is well coated with the sticky stuff.
4. Form into balls and lay them out on wax paper to dry
(Hint - After the popcorn balls dry, we put ours in sandwich bags to keep them fresh)
We hope you enjoy our special Afterschool Popcorn Balls as much as we did!!! Pictures of us making our snacks will be up shortly!
