Popcorn balls are a popular American dessert traditionally made for Halloween, but they're so delicious and easy to make that they can be made for any occasion. Kids will especially love them and make a great treat at a children's party. Popped popcorn is mixed with peanut butter and milk chocolate chips and then topped with a hot mixture of melted marshmallows, butter, and corn syrup. The result is a sticky mass that's easy to mold into balls. Once cool, decorate each ball with melted chocolate and peanut butter.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a large bowl, combine the popcorn and 1 1/4 cups each of peanut butter chips and chocolate chips. Stir to distribute evenly.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, corn syrup, and marshmallows over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- When the sugar mixture comes to a boil, pour it over the popcorn mixture and stir to coat evenly. Then quickly but carefully form balls of your desired size. Place them in small bowls or muffin tins, spraying them with cooking spray first to help them hold their shape as they cool. Think of it as making snowballs, but don't make them too tightly packed.
- In two separate small saucepans, melt the remaining 1/2 cup each peanut butter chips and milk chocolate chips over low heat (or melt in the microwave in two bowls) and drizzle the melted sauces over each cooled popcorn ball.
