Great

The adults loved them as much as the little ones..
Fun with kids!

Debbi Finkelstein from Waltham, MA

I wanted a popcorn reciped that I could make with the children I work with for a movie day. The kids helped me make the popcorn balls and the only thing we had to change was that we did it in the microwave, rather than on the stove top. It turned out great and the kids ate it up!
It must be me

Delfina Mortensen from Wheaton, IL

Tried to make these easy popcorn balls. Very easy, smelled realy good while making them. Stored them over night, ten hours, the popcorn was soggy. Still had that tempting aroma. Would not dare take them to the halloween party. Had to dispose of them. Sorry...

Lisa Wesche from ITHACA, NY

I actually made these wonderful popcorn balls for my daughter's Halloween party at school. Instead of using the Butterfinger candy bars, I used the swirled chocolate caramel morsels. They were delicious! Apparently all the kids at school thought so too!
Yummy

Anne Falyor from Omaha, NE

I made a batch of Butterfinger Popcorn Balls and a batch of "old-fashioned" popcorn Balls for our Halloween party. The Butterfinger Popcorn Balls won hands done in ease of preparation and taste. I'm throwing out the candy thermometer!
Trick or Treat TREAT

GAIL BLACKMON from Buffalo, MN

I wanted something fun & good,yet different, to hand out to my favorite Trick or Treaters. This is perfect! Each ball wrapped in Halloween celephane then each ball tied with black & orange (gold & lime green also)curling ribbon.The ends of the ribbons are curled by dragging accross the blade of a pair of scissors. These snacks will be festive & fun, and a new twist and flavor of a old favorite!
Yummy!

One word - YUM!

Kelli Hillmar from COLUMBIA, MD

These SIMPLE popcorn balls really hit the spot! Much more simple to make than those which require boiling caramel to the soft ball stage, they were also quicker, and more popular with my family. YUM!

So much fun and yummy!

Butterfinger Popcorn Balls

Carole Finney from HARRISVILLE, OH

A great change from the very good, but same old plain popcorn balls. These are really good.
very good, very easy

Nicole Corwin from Mt. Carmel, TN

This is really an awesome recipe. It's so easy, quick, and virtually impossible to mess up. I recomend this to anyone with little time, kids, or who has a sweet tooth. the great thing is when these are done, not only do they taste great, they have great presentation. They look like you took an hour making them. I do have a suggestion, to those who do try this, try using a popcorn called Orville Rednbockers Cinnabon. It adds a really great flavor, just don't use the icing packet that comes with.
Great Stuff

laura from TN

This is a great recipe.

Popcorn balls

Danielle McAfee from Chazy, NY

Very sticky to put together but my child had a lot of fun trying. We figured out if we let the mix sit for a little while after adding the marshmallows it got a little easier to make balls.
Butterfinger Popcorn Balls

Lisa Bahlman from Mexico, MO

This was a real hit with my daughters 5th grade class at Halloween and again at the Christmas party. The teacher has even asked if I'll bring them again at their Valentine's Day party!!!
Great new twist on an old favorite

d v from Spokane, WA

This is a different twist on an old standby. The warm marshmallow cream semi-melts the candy bar and it comes out with a pleasant peanut buttery taste.
Very good

Harriett McBride from , LA

I made these & they were so good. I like popcorn balls & butterfingers so they are the perfect combination.

Finger Licking Good

Robin Milano from Vienna, VA

I made this recipe with the children I work with in a summer program. They absolutely loved crushing the Butterfingers, and composing the balls together. Of course their favorite part was eating them. This was very easy to make (one I will do again).

Much Easier!

Valorie Delp from New York City

It was so much easier to use a marshmallow coating than to use the traditional candy coating. I used microwave butter flavored popcorn & they tasted fantastic. Everyone was asking for the recipe.
