Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup popcorn
- ½ cup marshmallows
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Decorative Ingredients:
- ¼ cup ghost-shaped candies
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Gently melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan at low heat (250°F), ensuring it doesn’t brown.
- Pour 1 cup of popcorn into the pan and carefully stir until each kernel gets a smooth butter coating.
- Sprinkle ½ cup of marshmallows and ½ cup of chocolate chips into the pan, stirring continuously until they’re completely melted and integrated with the popcorn.
- Take the pan off the heat and let the mixture cool for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to become slightly sticky and manageable.
- Fold in ¼ cup of ghost-shaped candies, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Using clean hands, quickly roll the mixture into compact 2-inch balls, pressing gently to help them hold their shape.
- Place the ghost bombs on a parchment-lined tray and let them set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes until they’re firm and cool.
Notes
- Melt butter and marshmallows slowly to prevent burning and ensure smooth texture.
- Use white chocolate chips for a ghostly appearance that matches the theme.
- Let the mixture cool just enough so candies don’t melt when stirring.
- Work quickly when shaping balls to keep the treats from becoming too sticky or falling apart.
