Kids Party Popcorn Recipe

Ingredients:

• 9 cups popped popcorn
• ¼ cup sugar
• 2 tbsp water
• 4 drops blue food coloring
• 3 tbsp butter
• 10.5 oz bag marshmallows
• 1 cup mini Oreos
• 1 cup mini Chips Ahoy (slightly broken)
• 24 candy eyeballs

Directions:

Prepare the Popcorn Base:

In a large bowl, combine the popped popcorn with mini Oreos and slightly broken Chips Ahoy cookies.

Make the Blue Syrup:

Heat sugar and water over medium-high heat in a saucepan, stirring often, until it forms a clear syrup and the sugar has dissolved.

Add 4 drops of blue food coloring and stir until you achieve a solid blue color.

Coat the Popcorn:

Pour the blue syrup over the popcorn mixture in the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the popcorn is evenly coated with the blue color.

Prepare the Marshmallow Mixture:

In another saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.

Combine and Form the Popcorn Balls:

Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and cookies. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Using gloves or lightly greased hands (because it’s sticky!), shape the mixture into 12 balls.

Add Cookie Monster Eyes:

While the mixture is still slightly sticky, press 2 candy eyeballs into each popcorn ball to create the Cookie Monster effect.
