These all natural peanut butter popcorn balls are perfect for your next party! They have no refined sugar and are fun to make!October is such a great month, probably one of my favorites. Why you ask? Well, for a couple of reasons; first, the weather has finally turned colder (which is such a welcome relief here in Arizona); it’s time to switch gears and start thinking about winter stuff. And secondly, because Halloween is in October!

Our oldest daughter, MM was born right before Halloween and fortunately (for me) she has always loved everything Halloween! We have so much fun celebrating her birthday in a Halloween way every single year!

These all natural peanut butter popcorn balls are perfect for your next party! They have no refined sugar and are fun to make!Even though she’s getting older, she still asks me to make fun little party treats for her, like these popcorn balls. And, of course, I oblige…because I’m a good mom (not because I’m a total holiday freak, no-no, not because of that).

I’ve made several popcorn ball recipes over the years, but this one is by far our favorite. I love it because it contains only a portion of the refined sugar and artificial ingredients that some of the other recipes call for and because it’s made with natural peanut butter and honey! The kids love it because, well, it’s yummy!

For a little hands on fun, get the kids involved! They love making these a giant sticky mess!

You need these at your next Halloween party!
