Because my kids are little, I had mostly stayed away from popcorn, popcorn balls and whatnot.

You know, choking hazards with the kernel and all that.

But these treats–just 4 ingredients…how could I not long for that?!

So, since my kids have gotten a wee bit bigger, we’re starting to work our way into these, some of my favorite, treats.

Which is awesome because they’re so easy.

Just a simple, pour, heat, pop, mix and form.

And then pop the candy eyeballs on.

So simple its ridiculous.

My kids are loving it.

Apparently, candy-coated popcorn, in addition to being one of my favorite movie-night treats is, oddly, also one of their favorite movie-night treats.

It only takes just a couple of minutes, getting the popcorn popped and the sugar melted, then you’re in business.

No joke, it takes almost the exact same amount of time for me to make a regular bowl of popcorn, what with melting the butter and all that.

  1. How long can these last? We are using these for a birthday party on Saturday morning (today is Thursday). Can I make them today or should I wait until the night before (tomorrow)?
