Thankfully I am not hosting Easter dinner at my house this year. Since I did the last holiday (Christmas), my sister is having this one at her house. Score! Of course I can’t show up to her house empty handed, so I have been experimenting with different desserts to bring with me. I came up with these Peeps Popcorn Balls and they are PERFECT. They are just the right combination of sweet and salty and I know everyone is going to love them. And if they don’t, that’s ok – I will eat them all myself!
Peeps Popcorn Balls
Here’s what you need:
- Easter Peep Bunnies (All different Colors)
- Popped Popcorn
- Butter
Here’s what you do:
1. Place 5 peeps in a microwave safe bowl with ½ Tablespoon of butter and Heat for 30 seconds. Once the 30 seconds are up, take the bowl out of the microwave and mix the melty peeps and butter together.
2. Add in 2 cups of popped popcorn and mix well.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to make all the different colors you want.
4. Once all the peeps popcorn is made, pinch a bit of each color and form into a ball. This part is very easy if you take a bit of butter and rub all over your hands, which will prevent the marshmallow from sticking to you.
5. Continue to make each ball until all popcorn is gone! This should make about a dozen, but you can always melt more peeps and make as many as you need.
These were super fun to make and oh so delicious!!
Plus, they are really festive looking, don’t you think?
If you end up making your own Peeps Popcorn Balls, let me know how you liked them. My kids were really impressed with these and I am excited to bring them to share with the rest of my family on Easter.
These sound so good! I can’t wait to make these. It’s a two-fer for me. I’m the only person in my house who likes Peeps, so not only do they look good, they’re all for me!
This was such a creative idea and way to use Peeps. These popcorn balls are so colorful, they are perfect for Easter snacking!
Yes! I just LOVE my Peeps. I’m going to try these popcorn balls soon. I imagine they taste amazing–plus they’re pretty!
They make really pretty popcorn balls. Maybe the sweetness is toned down by adding popcorn. I couldn’t eat very many.
Those are totally fun! I’m not a fan of Peeps, but I’d make these for Easter for the nieces and nephews.
These look adorable! I love the pastel colours together. Such a fun treat for Easter 🙂
Okay, these have to be the cutest treats for Spring or Easter! I so love the blend of colors and how easy you can make them!
Who does not love peeps. I will eat more than I will make given the chance. These popcorn balls look great so we may try to make them.
These look really tasty! Popcorn balls are such a sweet treat.
Luv, luv, luv Peeps. We make this but we call them Unicorn Droppings. Kids… what can I say – kids and that’s what happens when you let kids name things. They’re always a hit during our Spring Fling at school.
Something productive to do with those cuties after they leave the baskets – because my boys DO NOT need to eat them all!
Talk about something fun for the kids this Easter. I think they’ll love these popcorn balls especially since it’s so colorful and yummy!
The kids love popcorn and this is a fun way to enjoy popcorn on Easter! I love the combination of sweet and salty and I can’t wait to give this a try! I’m sure my youngest will enjoy it very much.
OMG those look so good and cute too. Love the colors. I wish we have peeps here. My son also niece and nephew would totally love it.
YES to treats that are adorable and colorful! I think this is a great way to welcome Spring or celebrate Easter with the kiddies. Talk about an easy dessert they’ll appreciate!
Peep season has officially arrived! I have to admit, I’m not a huge Peeps person but I love the idea of Peeps Popcorn Balls! I definitely have to try this out.
This is really an interesting way to make a popcorn look more festive and attractive to kids and even the young-at-heart! Are these peeps flavored?
Not only do they look tasty, they are super cute too! A great alternative to chocolatey Easter treats!
This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen done with peeps! I’m definitely making these for Easter!
Well, this looks fun. Definitely, a more fun, colorful and sweet way to eat popcorn.
What a fun idea! I think I’m going to try to make this with my daughters when the peeps go on clearance 🙂
These Peep Popcorn Balls are adorable!! These would be perfect to make for Easter!!
What a fun way to use the Peeps. I love that they come out so pastel-y pretty. 🙂
We aren’t naturally peep lovers but this is quite possibly the best way to consume them. They are really festive and pretty though.
These Peeps popcorn look fabulous. The colours look so beautiful. I am sure they will enliven up the easter dinner this year.
These popcorn balls look awesome! So colorful and joyful! Thanks for sharing the idea and the details!
It’s so funny how some people hate Peeps, while others love them. I think they are cute. It’s a great idea to turn them in to popcorn balls.
