These popcorn bites are similar to a rice crispy cake but with yummy popcorn. Making popcorn is so much fun. I have added cherries to these bites, but you can add anything you fancy, chocolate chips, raisins, etc.

  • 1tbsp Sunflower oil

  • 75g (3oz) Popping corn

  • 150g/5oz Mini marshmallows

·      60g/2oz Butter 

·      Sprinkles

·      10 glace cherries

What do we need?

​

  • Heavy based saucepan with a lid!

  • Large bowl

  • Chopping board

  • Knife

  • Teaspoon

  • Tablespoon

  • Cupcake cases

Tia's tip

​

Make sure you roll the balls when the mixture is warm and it will set as it gets cooler.

What do we do?

  • Put the popcorn and oil into the saucepan and stir it around so that all of the kernels get covered.

  • Put the saucepan back onto the heat making sure the lid is on.

  • You will hear the popcorn popping very quickly – don’t take the lid off as they will fly everywhere!

  • Listen until the ‘pops’ slow down.

  • Remove from the heat. 

  • Pour the popcorn into a large bowl.

  • Cut up the cherries into 6 small pieces. Add to the popcorn in the big bowl.

  • Melt the butter in the saucepan and add the marshmallows.

  • Stir the marshmallow mixture until they are all melted.

  • Pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and stir well.

  • Let the mixture cool slightly.

  • Cover your hands in butter and roll the mixture into 20 balls.

  • Place each ball into a cupcake case and shake a few sprinkles on top.

 

Eat and enjoy!
