Chocolate Popcorn Reindeer
These festive holiday popcorn balls are a great project for kids as they create their own red-nosed, sleigh-pulling team!
Ingredients
- 8 cups unsalted, unbuttered popped popcorn
- 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp butter or light olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 16 pretzel sticks
- 16 eyeball candies
- 8 red candy-coated chocolate candies
Instructions
- Place popcorn in large mixing bowl.
- In saucepan set over medium heat, heat marshmallows, chocolate, butter and salt, stirring often, until smooth. Toss marshmallow mixture with popcorn until well combined.
- Scoop 3/4 cup popcorn mixture into ball. Repeat with remaining mixture to make 8 balls. Place each ball in paper muffin cup liner.
- Insert pretzel stick on each side of ball to resemble antlers, stick two eyeball candies on for “eyes” and red candy for “nose.” Let cool completely.
