Ingredients
12cups popped popcorn
1 ½cupsdried cherries
16ouncesmini marshmallows
1cupwhite chocolate chips
¼cupbutter
1cupsemi sweet chocolate chips
4dropsred 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.
