If you’re looking for a sweet popcorn treat, these Chocolate Strawberry Popcorn Balls are delicious!
This easy S’mores Popcorn is another sweet treat idea when you’re craving more sweet and less salt.
For the ultimate sweet popcorn treat, check out my grandma’s family-famous popcorn cake! We always make this one around the holidays and everyone loves it! In this recipe I used jelly beans but you can also use jujubes. I’ve tried to make it with candy coated chocolate (like M&M’s) but I end up with a melted chocolate mess. If you want to add chocolate, I’d suggest sticking some chocolate to the outside of the cake after you’ve finished stirring it and once it’s had a chance to cool a bit.
