COCONUT POPCORN BALLS

Categories > Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Holiday, Vegetarian Coconut Popcorn Balls are definitely going to be a hit on movie night. Essentially, they're just hunks of popcorn and cashews held together by a scrumptious creamy mix of nut butter and honey and coated with coconut. The main thing to think about with this recipe is how to make the popcorn. Microwave is easiest, yes, but there are some very questionable chemicals lurking in the lining of most of those convenient bags and many also come with artificial flavors and colors. So if you've got the time, we suggest popping your own. If you've got a popcorn machine, that's obviously the best, but you can also do it on a stovetop using a tutorial like this one.

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 heaping cups popped corn
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup finely chopped cashews
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place popcorn in a large bowl. Combine peanut butter (or almond butter) and honey in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. As soon as the mixture starts to lightly bubble continue cooking for approximately another 30 seconds or less. Immediately pour the mixture evenly over the popcorn and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until well and evenly coated. Stir in cashews. Once the popcorn has cooled, run hands under ice cold water for 10 seconds. Press small handfuls of the popcorn mixture firmly into 2-inch balls. Place balls on baking sheet and sprinkle with coconut. Let cool completely before storing. To store, individually wrap each ball in plastic wrap.

Categories     Sandwich     Bake     Spring     Chill     Boil

Yield makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups hulled pumpkin seeds or slivered almond
3 3.5-ounce bags natural microwave popcorn, or 12 cups fresh popped popcorn
2 cups agave nectar
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons melted refined coconut oil or canola oil, plus more for coating hands
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread the pumpkin seeds or almonds in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until nicely toasted, stirring once. Transfer to a large heat-proof bowl and set aside. Pop the popcorn according to package instructions and transfer to the bowl. Toss the popcorn with the seeds or nuts until thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
  • Combine the agave nectar and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring every other minute so that the mixture doesn't stick to the pan. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook until the liquid turns deep amber, about 10 minutes more. Turn off the heat and let the syrup sit for 1 minute. While whisking briskly, add the coconut milk, the 2 tablespoons coconut oil, the vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne and continue to whisk until the caramel is smooth. Cool for 1 minute, then pour the caramel over the popcorn mixture and stir until evenly coated. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Put on sanitary rubber gloves and add a dime-sized dollop of coconut oil in the palm of one hand. Rub your hands together until your palms are lightly coated and shape the popcorn mixture into 3-inch balls.
