Sweet, salty, and delicious! Please be cautious when kids are forming popcorn balls as the mixture is hot. For Chocoholics, add mini chocolate chips, for Peanut Lovers add roasted peanuts…If you like sweet and spicy flavors, try adding Red Hots….Oh, the possibilities are endless! For Holiday Popcorn Balls, add red, green, or blue food coloring to the melted marshmallow/sugar mixture.

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 10-ounce bag of mini marshmallows
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 8 cups popped salted popcorn
• Unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a large heavy stockpot. Add the marshmallows and the sugar and stir until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the popcorn. Butter your hands and shape the balls into desired sizes. Set on a parchment paper or silicone-lined cookie sheet to set.
2. For PEANUT BUTTER POPCORN BALLS, reduce the butter to 4 tablespoons and add 1/3 cup creamy Peanut Butter.
3. To color the popcorn balls, add a few drops of food coloring to the smooth marshmallow mixture. Mix well to distribute the color evenly, then pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn as instructed above.
