Here’s a festive, quick, and delicious treat you can make for St. Patrick’s Day. Everybody young and old will love this fun popcorn treat. St. Patrick’s Day White Chocolate Popcorn

I’ve never had a better white chocolate popcorn than that which is covered with Kitchen Kneads White Caps and I’ll tell you why. It’s no ordinary white chocolate coating. It’s made with butterfat, which compliments the popcorn so well you’ll never want another white chocolate on your popcorn. Seriously. I’ve had others and it’s just not as good.

Here I’ve turned it green to make it festive for St. Patrick’s Day. To do this, I added about half a teaspoon of emerald green powdered food coloring to the melted White Caps. It is very important that when coloring chocolate that you use powdered food coloring only. Liquids, gels, and pastes will seize the chocolate.

I added some yellow sprinkles and green and white Sixlets to my popcorn to amp up the festive look. Isn’t it pretty?

I like to use an air popper to pop my corn. It seems to puff the little kernels better than any other method and makes for a prettier popcorn, especially if you use mushroom popcorn.

Old Fashion Popcorn Balls

Old fashion popcorn balls are a classic Halloween treat that just doesn’t seem to be as popular as they used to be. But why not? I love popcorn balls and have been making them for Halloween for the past few years. They’re easy to make and the kids (and adults) love them.

You can make them regular sized (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter) or you can make them smaller so they’re easier for kids to eat. Either way, they’re delicious and oh so festive.

Pumpkin Popcorn Balls

Popcorn balls are an old-timey Halloween tradition. I’m ashamed to admit, while I’ve always known what they are and that they are associated with Halloween, that I’ve never eaten one…until now.

Why I never made them until now is forever a mystery, but rest assured that they will now be a Halloween tradition for me and my family.

These are just shaped like pumpkins, not pumpkin flavored. I thought it would be fun to add some festive appearance to them because that’s what I do. But you don’t have to if you don’t want to. You can certainly leave them white; they’ll taste just as delicious.

Pumpkin Popcorn Balls

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 10 oz pkg. miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
Green candies for stems (optional)
Orange food coloring (optional)
3 quarts popped popcorn

Melt butter in a large heavy pot over low heat. Add marshmallows and brown sugar and stir until melted. Add orange food coloring if desired. Remove from heat
Pour popcorn into pot; toss well. With buttered hands, shape into 2 1/2 inch balls. Place on parchment lined baking sheet to cool. Before completely cool, push green candies in the tops to create a stem.
