Popcorn Balls with Pumpkin Spice and White Chocolate

Popcorn balls with pumpkin spice and white chocolate are an excellent trick-or-treat alternative, or you may just keep this healthy snack all to yourself!

 ¾ cup light corn syrup
 ¼ cup Colavita Olive Oil
 1 tsp vanilla
 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
 3 confectioner's sugar
 1 cup mini marshmallows
 4 cups popcorn
 Extra oil for your hands
Garnish
 4 oz white chocolate, melted

1

In a large pot over medium heat, combine the corn syrup, Colavita olive oil, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice. Bring to a low boil. Add in the confectioner’s sugar and marshmallows. Heat back to a boil again.

2

In a large bowl, combine the popcorn with the hot marshmallow mixture. Mix well, coating all ingredients.

3

Shape the popcorn into balls. You will need to work quickly and keep your hands well-greased.

4

Once the balls are formed, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the popcorn balls. Allow to dry at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to speed the process.

You can wrap the balls in plastic wrap and keep for a week.
