Oh my gosh, these look amazing! I love popcorn anyway, so this would just make it even better! x
Chocolate Easter candies? Can you be more specific as to what type?
You can use whichever ones you like. The chocolate ones are our favorites!
Ummm…. any easter colored candy… like M&M’s… or try sixlets… maybe even jelly beans?
Those all sounds great Andy!
How long will these last?
I’ve never had any left after we make them… but they might be okay for a day or so in an airtight container.
Newbie at all this. Lol did u use unsalted popcorn or just whatever microwaveable popcorn. Also salted or unsalted butter? TIA:)
Hi Bonnie, This was air popped popcorn so unsalted… for the butter you can use either, if you use salted you will want to omit the additional salt added. Enjoy!
How many dose it make
Hi! I think you could easily make 10 good sized popcorn balls, and you could make more or less depending on the size.
These look amazing, mouth is watering. Thanks for sharing!
I don’t have a popcorn machine, will microwaveable popcorn work? If so, any suggestions to what kind?
Hi Sonia, If you can find one with little to no salt, it would work.
