Equipment
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 12 cups popped popcorn
- 1 ½ cups dried cherries
- 16 ounces mini marshmallows
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 4 drops red food coloring
Instructions
- Mix popcorn and cherries in a large bowl.
- In a large saucepan, cook marshmallows, white chocolate, and butter on low heat until melted and smooth.
- Stir in a few drops of red food coloring to tint the mixture pink.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Pour marshmallow mixture over popcorn and cherries; toss gently until well coated.
- With wet or buttered hands (I sprayed mine lightly with cooking spray), shape mixture into 3 1/2 to 4 inch hearts. You can use a cookie cutter to help shape them, or do it by hand.
- Insert a lollipop stick in the base of each heart. Place on the wax paper to cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate chips and drizzle it over the hearts. They look cute wrapped in cellophane and tied with ribbon, or standing up in a vase or jar as a candy bouquet!
Notes
You will need sucker sticks or bamboo skewers for these heart bouquets.
