Candy Cane Popcorn Balls
This fantastic Holiday treat! Candy Cane Popcorn Balls are made with white chocolate, candy canes and marshmallows.
Holiday baking with children is a magical time. Lifelong memories are made spending time with our Moms and Grandmas baking cookies and sweet treats. My son loved inviting his friends over for Gingerbread House and Sugar Cookie decorating. We would all wear our Santa hats, play holiday music and make a complete mess of the kitchen!
Candy Cane Popcorn Balls are easy to make and taste delicious. I like to use a candy cane for the stick, but a regular popsicle stick will work fine.
Fluffy popcorn is a great ingredient to include in your Christmas baking. In addition to this recipe you will also enjoy White Chocolate Candy Cane Popcorn and popular Caramel Popcorn.
