Each bag contains a popcorn ball, a baggy of Chex Mix, and 4 or 5 cookies.The popcorn balls are easy to make. The girls popped up a big bowlful of popcorn. (We use a microwave popper that will pop regular popcorn. I usually add melted butter and salt after it's popped, but for this they didn't.) Then just melt margarine and marshmallows together like you would for Rice Krispy Treats, only substitute the popcorn for the Rice Krispys. Add a little red or green food coloring and form into balls with buttered hands.
Our friends seem to like our treats... and the girls sure have fun making them!

Hello! I am FINALLY able to come and comment after all this time! Things have been so stressful at my home with school and life and now things are finally settling down. It's good to catch up and see how you are doing! Hope you are enjoying a lovely Christmas Season! Those popcorn balls look delcious. Hope you will still stop by and say hello! :)
Oh what a great idea for popcorn balls. I'll have to do that. xo rachel
P.S. I made "mice" today. Philip said, "Oh, those are disgustingly cute!" Jonathan picked them up by the tail and dropped them into his mouth whole...without the cookie. So funny!
What a fun tradition! The goodies bags look fabulous and the popcorn balls look yummy! Merry Christmas!
What a nice idea! The popcorn balls sound delicious, and I love the bags!
Thanks Karla for noticing the 23. I have no idea where that came from except today is the 23rd. I changed it. I hope the other dates were correct.
Mmmmm! I haven't had a popcorn ball in year and years. That picture really brings back the memory.
