Sweet and Salty Popcorn Balls

Yield

18 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 cups popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup corn kernels)
  • 1 cup Saffron Road Sea Salt-Flavored Crunchy Chickpeas
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 (8 oz.) pkg. kosher marshmallows
  • 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Combine popcorn and chickpeas in a large bowl.
  2. Melt butter and marshmallows in a medium saucepan over low heat until melted, stirring constantly. (Don’t be tempted to increase the temperature; doing so can brown the butter too much). Stir in vanilla.
  3. Pour mixture over the popcorn and let it cool slightly. With greased hands, gently mix the melted marshmallows and popcorn. Shape mixture into 18 (2-inch) balls and let cool. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
