How do you keep Candy Corn Popcorn Balls from falling apart?

Coat the popcorn thoroughly with the marshmallow mixture while it’s warm and sticky. Press the mixture firmly into balls and let them cool completely before serving.

Can I make Candy Corn Popcorn Balls ahead of time?

Yes! Prepare them 1–2 days in advance and store in an airtight container at room temperature. Separate layers with wax paper to prevent sticking.

What’s the best way to shape Candy Corn Popcorn Balls without sticking?

Grease your hands lightly with butter or cooking spray. This prevents sticking and makes it easier to roll uniform shapes.
