Sometimes you find a recipe that’s
just too adorable to pass up! Having been kids once, we remember that not
all fun things to eat are completely and totally nutritious — but if they are
CUTE, that makes up for it. And these little popcorn balls that are
masquerading as pumpkins are IT!
What’s in them:
½ cup butter
3 oz. box of orange jello
¼ cup of corn syrup
¼ tsp. baking soda
12 cups of plain popcorn
3 oz. box of orange jello
¼ cup of corn syrup
¼ tsp. baking soda
12 cups of plain popcorn
Here’s how you make them:
In microwavable bowl, melt 1/2 cup
butter. Stir in a box of orange jello and 1/4 cup of corn syrup. Microwave
again until it reaches a full boil (try 1 min. then more if needed). Stir.
Mix in 1/4 tsp. baking soda. Stir
for 2-3 minutes. Mix in roughly 12 cups popcorn.
Microwave the whole thing for 30 seconds
more. You can do more if you prefer it crispy instead of gooey.
Form into balls. Wear plastic bags
with a little non-stick spray on them as gloves.
Use Tootsie Roll minis for the stem.
For a green leaf, you can shape Starbursts into a leaf shape. Be sure to press
the stem in while the popcorn ball is still warm and pliable.
