Chocolate Covered Caramel Popcorn Balls

Chocolate and caramel popcorn balls are a perfect treat for any holiday or anytime.

We are braces- free family! I haven’t made any caramel, popcorn treats because someone in our family couldn’t eat them, they would be a braces nightmare! But those days are behind us and chewy sticky treats are here! If you like chocolate recipes, you may like my Easy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

These Chocolate Covered Caramel Popcorn Balls are an easy treat to make and they got rave reviews from my testers! I sent them to school and work and everyone loved them!

Pop some popcorn and add melted caramel!

Stir caramel and popcorn with a spoon until all of the popcorn is coated with caramel. That caramel is hot! Don’t touch it with your fingers and taste it as I did, third-degree tongue burn!

After a couple of minutes, make some popcorn balls. Coat hands with Pam Cooking spray or butter and grab some caramel popcorn, shape with hands to make a ball. This recipe makes ten popcorn balls.

Place a candy stick in each popcorn ball. makes it easier to dip in chocolate.

Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe dish, roll popcorn balls in chocolate.

Decorate with festive sprinkles! I chose to decorate with black and orange, but you can switch up the colors for any holiday!

I used Chocolate Cookie Icing to make the decorative loops. We had a great time decorating these delicious popcorn balls and couldn’t wait to eat them!

How to store Chocolate Carmel Popcorn Balls:

After the caramel and chocolate harden, wrap with plastic or saran wrap.
