Easy Wonder Park Inspired Boomer Bear Popcorn Balls

It’s not every day that my kids get excited about a new movie coming out.

We don’t go to every movie ever, but we’ve gone to a couple lately and they’ve seen the previews for Wonder Park–and loved it.

So much so that they’ve been (repeatedly) asking me when we’re going to be able to go to the theater to catch it.

And I may have caught a little bit of their excitement.

So, I pulled out an old recipe for popcorn balls and modified them to be these absolutely adorable, but totally easy Wonder Park Inspired Boomer Bear Popcorn Balls!

I mean, how cute is this–and it literally took me less than 10 minutes to bring to life.

And, I’ll be honest, if I could rank items on a scale of importance on my list of “what makes me happiest about a specific recipe”, “easy” is always right up there with “tastes great”.

And these couldn’t be an easier.

Just heat the sugar and whatnot.

Then combine with your popped popcorn.

And form into balls, then slap on the eyes and nose.

Wicked easy–and super easy to love!

I mean, who doesn’t love a candy-coated ball of popcorn shaped like a bear in a bright, neon blue?!

Definitely not me.

And definitely not my kids.

They could almost not wait for me to get the candy eyeballs on before they were snatching these Boomer-inspired popcorn balls away from me.

Seriously, they’re that yummy.

Like a ball of buttered, candied popcorn.

Kind of similar to caramel popcorn–but a little bit different.

And blue.

Very blue.

Which, if I am honest, blue is my favorite color and, just so everyone is clear–if a food is blue, it automatically “tastes better” in my book.

Even if it doesn’t actually taste any different without the blue.

Confession over. LOL!
