3 Ingredient Popcorn Balls

Posted: By Edited: No Comments

I like to eat healthy, it’s important to me. But I love treats. I love carbs. I loveeeee things that are sinfully delicious. These 3 ingredient popcorn balls are no exception!!

An overhead view of round popcorn balls. The top 2 are nearly cropped out of the frame. The middle two popcorn balls are shaped like jagged creamy coloured spheres. They are dotted with the golden brown kernal husks and sprinkled with vibrant red cayenne pepper. The bottom two balls are nearly cropped out of the frame and they are drizzled with dark brown chocolate sauce in a random zigzag pattern. All of the balls are on a dark black baking sheet lined with a semi opaque white sheet of parchment paper.

I know I called them 3 ingredient popcorn balls, but technically the base recipe is 2 ingredients, with customizable options. Who doesn’t like customized treats?

Here’s what you need to know about this recipe:

A small hand reaching out, holding a jagged cream coloured popcorn ball. The popcorn ball is dotted with golden brown kernel husks with a mostly sheer pale honey sauce on the popcorn ball. In the background, there is a dark cookie sheet, lined with a semi opaque white parchment paper sheet filled with rows of popcorn balls

Really stir in that honey, it takes a bit of work to get all mixed up, but it’s important to get it mixed or else it won’t stick together!

Let the honey cool a bit if it’s too sticky when you try to form it into balls.

Use your imagination. There are TONS of flavour options out there, I’ve given a few but don’t feel limited to what I made, I gotta hear what you came up with too, so please share!

On the cookie sheet there are 4 rows of 4 columns of popcorn balls, which are jagged, creamy coloured spheres. The bottom row of popcorn balls feature a dark brown chocolate drizzle in a randomized zigzag pattern. The second row from the bottom has bright red cayenne pepper sprinkled on them. The 3rd from the bottom row look plain, but they feature a sea salt sprinkle. The very top row of popcorn balls have a medium red/brown sprinkle of cinnamon on them.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups air popped popcorn
  • 1/4 cup honey

Flavour Ideas:

  • Fleur de Sel
  • Cinnamon
  • Cayenne
  • Chocolate

Instructions

  1. Place popped popcorn in large bowl and set aside. Prepare baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat honey over medium high heat until it simmers. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes, while stirring occasionally.
  3. Drizzle honey over popcorn and toss to coat completely. It's a little bit of work.
  4. Use a large ice cream scoop or your hands to form into balls - if it seems too sticky, let it cool a bit more. You'll have to mash them together a bit to get them to stick. Place formed balls on prepared baking sheet to cool completely.
  5. Sprinkle salt, cinnamon, or cayenne powder on the popcorn balls if desired! I melted 1/8 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chips with a pinch of coconut oil and drizzled over top of my chocolate drizzle ones!
