These little popcorn balls were so fun any easy to make. They are a great low calorie snack that satisfied my sweet tooth.

So easy and fast to make! My kids LOVE them. They were a hit at my daughter's gymnastics Christmas party. I sub white chocolate chips for the peanuts since the gym or school are peanut free. They make a nice alternative to the usual cookies and cupcakes at kids parties.

These popcorn balls (without the peanuts because my kids don't care for them) were delicious. They were easy to make, especially with two nine year olds helping.
