Rocky Road Popcorn Balls
•Soy-freepopcorn balls are so fun to eat, and this version is sweet, salty, crunchy, and chewy thanks
to the added mini marshmallows, salted nuts, and chocolate chips. These are a great
alternative to a cookie if you want something a little different.¼ cup (56 g) unsalted butter
4 cups (200 g) mini marshmallows,
divided
8 cups (80 g) popped popcorn
½ cup (55 g) chopped roasted
salted almonds
½ cup (88 g) mini chocolate chipsIn a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add
3¼ cups (165 g) of the marshmallows and melt until smooth, stirring
occasionally.
Place the popcorn in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted marshmallow
mixture over the popcorn. Add the almonds, and stir to combine. Let cool
for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mini chocolate chips and the remaining ¾ cup
(35 g) mini marshmallows and stir to combine.
Wet your hands slightly and grab about ⅓ cup (20 g) of the mixture in
your hands. Press it into a ball and roll it until you have a nice even shape
about the size of a golf ball. Place on parchment paper to cool completely.
Repeat with the remaining popcorn mixture until you have 24 popcorn
balls.Yield: 24 popcorn balls
Chef’s Tip
Be sure to let the marshmallow/popcorn mixture cool slightly before
adding the chocolate chips so they don’t melt!(Ray)
