One of our family's Christmas traditions is making popcorn balls to hang on the tree.
Of course, they don't stay on the tree for long!
Want a quick and easy recipe for popcorn balls?
You know how difficult it is to make Rice Krispie treats? ;-)
Yup, it's that easy!
Melt butter into a pan, and add marshmallows
Stir in some food coloring just for fun.
Pour over popped popcorn.
Butter hands, and make balls
Wrap in Saran Wrap, put a string around it, and hang on the tree.
See how long it hangs there!
Popcorn makes a great snack for a mega family like mine, but we can go through A LOT of microwave popcorn bags in one setting!
I tried switching over to making our own on the stove and using the air popcorn popper, but we ended up spending a small fortune on the butter that was melted and put on top!
To solve this dilemma, I pop a couple of bags of buttered popcorn in the microwave and mix it up with some popcorn from the air popper.
(Another great idea is to mix in a box or two of carmel corn.)
Of course, let's not forget to use coupons!
