Popcorn Balls

Step 1

Pop your popcorn and set it aside in a large bowl, discarding any unpopped kernels.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly until they're completely melted and smooth — this takes about 3–4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in vanilla extract and salt.

Step 5

Drizzle the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and fold gently with a spatula until every piece is coated. Work quickly since the mixture sets fast.

Step 6

Lightly coat your hands with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then shape the popcorn mixture into 2-inch balls. You'll get about 12–16 balls depending on size.

Step 7

Set them on parchment paper to cool for about 30 minutes before serving.
