Candy-Speckled Popcorn Cakes
Candy-Speckled Popcorn Cakes
Here’s a fresh new take on the classic popcorn balls. Homebasics.ca brings you this easy recipe that can be served at sleepovers or Halloween parties. If you don’t have mini bundt pans, you can use a large bundt or angel food pan or mini muffin tins. Or simply let the kids form the popcorn balls themselves.
1/2 cup Imperial Margarine
1 1/2 bags mini marshmallows
20 cups (2 bags, 80 g each) popped microwave popcorn, cooled, uncooked kernels carefully removed
1 1/2 cups colourful candy-coated chocolate pieces
In a large pot over medium heat, melt margarine and marshmallows. In a large bowl, combine melted marshmallows with popcorn and chocolate pieces. With lightly greased hands, pat popcorn mixture into non-stick mini bundt cake pans. Place in refrigerator for 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Great for sleepovers and Halloween parties. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

I can trace my obsession with vampires back to 1987 when I saw The Lost Boys for the first time (the first of many, many times). Years later, there was “Buffy”, then “Angel”, and later “Moonlight” on television.
