    Can you wrap in plastic wrap or decorated wax wrap to keep? How long do they keep room temperature or should they be refridgerzted ?

      You can wrap them, but the moisture does soften the popcorn. I haven’t tried to chill them, but that may help keep them fresher than storing them at room temp.

      I do! I’ve made them into bars before, and it worked out fine. I would just suggest giving your knife a little spritz of nonstick spray as I found that they stuck a little when I went to cut them. Good luck! =)

    I am thinking of creating a popcorn ball barwhere the guests create their own popcorn balls with available add ins such as nuts, m&ms, golden grahams, …. can I make the marshmallow mixture and keep it warm in a crock pot for my guests to use when making their own?

    Made these with my 11 year old grandson while my other little grandsons enjoyed them with a glass of milk and they were a hit.

    My daughter-in-law loves anything s’mores so she sent this recipe to me today. Not sure if she expected me to make them right away or not but I love her and they sounded fairly easy. They were pretty easy but think maybe I should have rolled them all first then did the chocolate chips. The first ones are a bit melty but I’m sure they will be fine.

      You could, but honestly, they taste better the first day or two. After a couple days, they start to taste a little soggy and stale. I store them flat in a gallon-sized plastic baggie.

    I had a little trouble getting the chocolate chips to stick, so I scooped out the popcorn mix into one hand and dropped on some chips with the other hand. Then formed them into balls, so the chips were in the middle. (I probably used more than one cup of chips this way.)
