I used to love popcorn balls as a kid. They were delicious, but the biggest drawback was getting a bite out of those huge, hard candy balls.
These popcorn balls are made with marshmallows, so they're much softer and perfectly sized for two good bites. They're also made with vanilla and butter, so they taste absolutely decadent! We usually have popcorn for our family movie nights, and these were a special treat.
I wasn't exaggerating about how easy these are to make. ALL of the ingredients are microwaved. :)
While I was at the store I grabbed a few Kid Cuisine All Star Chicken Breast Nugget Meals to make our night a little easier.
You can grab everything you need for your Family Movie Night at Walmart.
Look for the Peter Rabbit display near the front of the store, then grab Kid Cuisine in the freezer section and Orville Redenbacher's popcorn in the snack aisle!
You can really use any flavor or popcorn for these, but the Kettle Corn was ah-mazing!!!
