Popcorn baubles

By Maranda Engelbrecht
Makes 8 to 12 balls
Easy
1 hour
15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 T cooking oil
  • 250 g popcorn kernels
  • 2 cups white marshmallows
  • icing sugar, for dusting

Method

Heat the oil in a large pot.
Add the popcorn kernels then cover and cook until all the corn has popped. Remove from the heat.
Place the marshmallows in a bowl over a pot of simmering water. Melt until soft and sticky.
Using a large bowl, combine the popcorn and melted marshmallows, and shape into 8 to 12 equal-sized balls.
Dust with icing sugar and leave to set slightly. Place a folded doily on top of each popcorn ball and secure with a silver pin.
Add strips of fabric or ribbon and hang the popcorn baubles at windows or on doors during the festive season.
