You’re about to get a kick out of this delicious recipe! The Women’s FIFA World Cup hits the field this summer so put together a treat worthy of a win. See how to create yummy soccer popcorn balls you can snack on while rooting for the USA!

If you’re already a fan of marshallows and popcorn, you’re going to love this dessert that combines the two! With the help of a few strategic chocolate chips, these popcorn balls are easily transformed into your favorite game full of fancy feet.

Supplies:

• Popcorn
• Marshmallow
• Butter
• Chocolate Chips
• Canola Oil Spray
• Wax paper
• Cupcake Wrappers

Pop 6 cups of popcorn. This is a newer model version of the popper I’ve had and used for 8 years now and love!

I always make my marshmallow covered treats over the stove but you could easily adapt this recipe for the microwave. Melt 4 tbsp butter then melt one 4 cups of marshmallows. This is NOT the whole 10 oz bag. (Tip: If you ever want to make these in a different color, this is the step to add the food coloring!)

Once fully melted, turn off the stove and add the air popped popcorn. Use a wooden spoon to fold the popcorn in a little at a time.

Pour the mixture onto your tabletop lined with wax paper and allow to cool slightly.

Once cooled enough to be handled, spray Pam spray on your hands. Yep, it’s a messy food craft!

Grab a handful and use your hands to mold into a ball shape. This recipe actually made 9 balls that fit into cupcake wrappers.

Once mostly cooled, stick a few strategic chocolate chips into the ball to mimic the black parts of the soccer ball.

These look cute and are easy to display in a cupcake wrapper so keep your size in mind when forming.

These sticky treats were part of the soccer party I recently styled for Wholesale Party Supplies.
