Ingredients
- 4 cups caramel coated popcorn (recommended: Cracker Jack)
- Plastic food storage bag, gallon size
- 1 package, 2 ounces, chopped nut topping, available on baking aisle
- 2 pints vanilla ice cream
- Optional garnishes: caramel sauce, canister whipped cream, maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Place the popcorn in a food storage bag and crush with a small skillet. Pour the crushed popcorn mixture onto a cookie sheet and combine with nuts. Soften ice cream 15 seconds per pint in microwave oven. Use a large scoop to overpack a round ball of ice cream. Place ice cream onto cookie sheet and roll in coating. Cover odd-shapped ball in plastic wrap and use the wrap as a barrier to mold ball into a perfect circle the size of a baseball. Repeat to form 4 balls. You will use about 1 1/2 pints of ice cream total. Freeze until ready to serve. Garnish baseballs with caramel sauce, whipped cream and maraschino cherry.
Reviews
most people either love or hate this recipe. we personaly loved it, witch is great because its so simple and quick:)
Oh, and stop hatin’ on rachel ray you dont personaly kno her so dont judge!
Come on man, I have never seen anything inappropriate on rachel. Maybe you should show your pig of a husband a little more than you do and he wont be ogling over nothing to worry about.
Rachel is the girl next door, Maybe hubby is ogling at her too…
Keep it up Rachel, I watch you everytime you are on, for your charm and cuteness.
Just the fact that you know who Howard Stern is means you are a bit freaky yourself and you like it. ANONytMOUS?/
This recipe is tasty and simple and my kids can’t wait to eat it.
I just made these and they are not only out of this world delicious but fail-safe. My husband even made his own and got it right! Roll em up and eat em straight away – forget sticking them in the freezer. Who wants to wait for something this yummy? You can use any flavor of icecream and roll it in your favorite cereal, oatmeal, trail mix, chex mix, chocolate covered pretzels, etc. Heck if you want sweet and salty you can roll the icecream in potato chips. I’ll save that for the next time I’m pregnant. Endless possibilities!
You might wanna get some help for that!!
The flavors just didn’t do it for us.
Sorry, RR.
totally tasty! yummy after c=school snack.
These are delicious for so many reasons. It gives you the crunch of the peanuts and popcorn, and the sweetness and creamy flavor of the ice cream. Yummy!
we didnt like the balls too much
I made the basic recipe and they were wonderful. I was afraid that the carmel corn would get soggy, but it didn’t, in fact, my husband ate the leftover one for breakfast and it was still pretty good! The possiblities with different icecreams, nuts, and carmel corns are endless, thanks for the inspiration.
