I cannot wait to take my daughter to see The Peanuts Movie being released on November 6th! The Peanuts comic strip was my absolute favorite to read on Sunday mornings when I was growing up. I have fond memories of watching Charlie Brown Christmas and It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and want to share my love with S.
In honor of The Peanuts movie, I decided to make Charlie Brown Popcorn Balls. These were so easy to make by making popcorn balls then dipping them in yellow candy melts and drawing on the black zig zag pattern using decorating black gel that mimics Charlie Brown’s shirt.

- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in the marshmallows, vanilla and salt.
- Heat, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Place the popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the marshmallow mixture over the top.
- Toss gently to combine and coat the popcorn.
- Allow to cool just slightly, then form into balls with well buttered hands (I used cooking spray).
- Place on sheets of wax paper, insert stick (or paper straw) and allow to set.
- Once firm, coat with melted yellow candy melts.
- Once hardened apply cake decorating gel in a zig zag pattern.
