Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Start by popping enough plain, lightly salted popcorn to fill about 16 cups, discarding unpopped kernels. Transfer the popcorn into a large mixing bowl to cool.
- In a large pot over medium heat, combine mini marshmallows and unsalted butter, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.
- Gently fold and mix the melted marshmallow into the popcorn until every piece is well coated.
- Lightly butter your hands and shape the popcorn mixture into balls about the size of a tennis ball on a lined baking sheet.
- Allow the popcorn balls to cool and firm up for 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature.
- Melt the Wilton Bright White Candy Melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in bursts and stirring until smooth.
- Dip the tops of each Ghost Popcorn Ball into the melted candy coating and let excess drip back into the bowl.
- Before the coating sets, gently place candy eyeballs on top, ensuring they stick while the coating is still tacky.
- Let the candy coating set completely before serving or storing your Ghost Popcorn Balls.
