Popcorn Heart Homemade Valentine Treats Recipe

Ingredients:

  • vegetable oil or popcorn oil
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 8 oz bag mini marshmallows
  • red or pink food coloring
  • red or pink candy melt
  • parchment paper
  • heart cookie cutter

How To Make Popcorn Heart Homemade Valentine Treats:

Make Sheet of Sweet Popcorn

Pop the popcorn according to directions using vegetable or popcorn oil.

Separate and dispose of all unpopped or partially popped kernels from the popped.

Melt the butter over medium heat, adding the marshmallows when the butter is totally melted.  Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted.  Add a small amount of pink or red food coloring and stir well.

Mix the popped popcorn into the marshmallow mixture and stir until evenly coated.

Press the popcorn mixture into a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.  The popcorn should be tightly pressed.

Place 1/2 cup of candy melt into the plastic piping.  Microwave for 25-30 seconds.  Squish the piping bag to mix the candy melt.  Heat for an additional 25 seconds or until the candy has melted completely.

Snip the tip of the piping bag off and drizzle the candy melt over the popcorn hearts.
