Everyone knows that one of the best things about Valentine's Day is the sweets that come along with it. We thought it would be fun to pair the classic sweet flavors of Valentine's Day with one of everyone's top salty snacks, popcorn! Surprise your favorite people with this sweet and salty no bake treat. We love how these tasty little treats can be packaged up for a class favor, teacher gift or as a little something special for a neighbor come this Valentine's Day!
- Popcorn
- White Chocolate Chips
- Marshmallows
- Red Chocolate Candy
- Pink Chocolate Candy
- Sprinkles
Start by melting your marshmallows for about 20-30 seconds in the microwave. Stir well until the marshmallows are all mixed into one another.
Add the melted marshmallows to 5 cups of salted popcorn and stir well.
Next, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments until they are fully melted and creamy. Be sure to stir well in between intervals to prevent over heating then add the meted chocolate to the marshmallow and popcorn mixture.
Now it is time to add in a little bit of color! Add the Red Chocolate Candy and the Light Pink Chocolate Candy to the popcorn, marshmallow and white chocolate mixture.
Pour a handful of red sugar crystal sprinkles into the mixture then stir the entire bowl well until everything is combined.
Create the popcorn balls by picking up a handful of the mixture and rolling the mix around in between your palms until a ball forms. We suggest coating your hands in non-stick cooking spray or a bit of coconut oil so the marshmallow doesn't stick to them.
Once you have made all of the popcorn balls, place them into a Cellophane Valentine Bag.
Add a red satin Ribbon and tie off the favor bag. Secure a Valentine Cookie Cutter Shape Charm and a We Go Together Valentine Card to each bag and enjoy at your Bakery Themed Valentine's Day Party or hand them out in school or to friends as a sweet gesture!
